If you've never had Finnish Pulla Bread, now is your chance! Simply put, it's a slightly sweet braided 'dessert' bread. Enjoy! Beat eggs with sugar. In a small saucepan (or in the microwave), warm the milk, and melt the butter in the warm milk. Add cardamom, vanilla and salt.
Brush the top of the bread and sprinkle it with sugar or slivered almonds. Bake in a 190 degree celsius oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature exceeds 95 degrees celsius. Pro tip: you can freeze Finnish pullia after baking so that you have something to eat with your coffee for weeks to come.
