I made 12 servings or 1 loaf. Tasted really good but it got burnt on the top and would have probably burned on the bottom too but I turned the oven off for the last 8 minutes of cooking time. Next time, I'll decrease the cooking temperature to 350 degrees. Served with "Honey Butter." I've never had any type of Finnish Pulla so I have nothing to compare this too. The cardamom/sugar sweetness tasted really good though. Last of all, I sprinkled some sugar in the raw on top after using the egg wash.

The smell of this baking brough my Finnish Grandma into my kitchen. I did use a heaping Tablespoon of cardomom and it was perfect. When I tasted it, I remembered that she used sugar water instead of egg wash to make the sugar stick. Other than than, it was perfect. I baked it in the middle of the oven for 24 minutes and it was browned but not at all burnt. She used to make doughnuts with the dough too. I will try that sometime. Thanks for the wonderful recipe and the memories of a wonderful Finnish lady.

This recipe is very close to the one that my family makes each Christmas so it must be good. I won't be straying from my family recipe but for those of you out there making this bread here's a tip: Put at least 1 tablespoon of cardamom in. If you're worried about the spiciness of it, don't, there is plenty of sugar in there to balance it out.

Not impressed, very dry even when reduced baking time a lot. Dough did not taste nearly as good as most sweet dough recipes, even imagining without cardamom. Dough was easy to work with & did turn out pretty. Used extra cardamom as many suggested, but was too much for me. Better as cinnamon rolls with currants. Would like to try adding just a bit of cardamom to my favorite sweet dough recipe.

I loved the cardamom but other than that wasn't too impressed. It was just way too dry. I will probably just add the spice to the Portuguese sweet bread recipe from the company's coming bread cook book.

This is actually a recipe published by B.A. Ojakangas in her book "The Finnish Cookbook". I have my grandma's copy from 1964 (2nd printing). If you look to her book, you will see there are several different patterns in which to form the bread. The "Christmas pigs" are my favorite. Mrs. Ojakangas has published several cookbooks, all of which are outstanding!

absolutely delicious and easy! one of my childhood favorites and my mom brings me some every time she visits. I ended up making 4 smaller loaves and giving them as gifts (well 3 - saved one for myself). I baked it at 350 for 30 minutes as others suggested- instead of regular sugar for the top, I added pearl sugar sparingly so it wasn't too sugary on the top. I will make this over and over again!

This recipe is exactly like my mom's, except that she is so frugal that she wouldn't use 4 eggs when 2 would do. 4 eggs is way better. I used this to make the traditional pulla ring for Christmas. I added raisins and currants to the dough and decorated with sliced almonds and fancy sugar. I also used this for cinnamon rolls. All turned out great. I increased the cardamon as was suggested. Tis is a recipe that more people should try. It is SO good.

I made this yesterday and it looks just like the picture. It was beautiful and delicious. I took the advice of other reviewers and upped the Cardamom. I added a scant tablespoon and it was delicious. The raw dough tastes stronger than the baked do don't worry if you taste it and it seems strong.

This bread is amazing! I agree with the many others who say to increase the cardamom. I used 1 1/2 crushed seeds, fresh from the pod. Also, a note to bread novices, the dough maybe very sticky and wet during that first turn out of the bowl, but it will firm up as you knead more flour in.

This was my first time baking bread. It turned out great, and I got a lot of compliments! As other reviewers suggested, I doubled the amount of cardamom, and it tasted just right. I will definitely make this again.

I made this for my boyfriend's parents who were visiting for the weekend. They are from a Finnish family and their grandmother makes Pulla often-they said mine was just as good! Great recipe. I halved it and it made a good size loaf to share. Nice and easy too!

This bread was delicious. But I did bake the first loaf at 400 degrees for 25 minutes and it was way too dark. The next loaves I baked for 30 minutes at 350 degrees and they were perfect. Yummy!

I have always made Pulla rolls at Christmas. My parents are Finnish, and my mother taught me this recipe at a young age. I can't imagine Christmas without it. Like I read before, roll out, butter, sugar and cinnamon, roll, cut and bake. With parchment paper, you don't have to worry about the sugar burning on your bake ware, and there is less chance of the bottom burning.
