I have a recipe for Swedish Coffee Bread which my Aunt got from her
mother-in-law, which has been passed down through the generations. I
hope you find it a recipe that you would like to make:
SWEDISH COFFEE BREAD
1-1 1/2 tsp. crushed cardimon seed 1/2 gal. milk (heat until
2 Tlbsp. Crisco 2 Tlbsp. melted just warm)
margarine 2 pkg. dry yeast dissolved
1 Tlbsp. salt in 1 cup water
1 cup sugar Approximately 8 lbs. flour
Put all ingredients in large bowl, gradually adding flour, mixing
until ready to knead. Knead 10 minutes and shape into a ball. Put
into a greased bowl, let rise until doubled. Punch down and let rise
again.
Then divide into 3 balls, roll out into long strands and braid. Put
onto greased pans, brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with sugar. Let
rise again.
Bake at 325 degree oven approximately 1/2 hour. Check for doneness.
Be careful, because even though the top may be dark the inside may
not be done. If the bottom is brown, then the bread should be done.
