My Danish grandma made cardamom bread for Christmas. I couldn’t t find a recipe. I guess Finnish pulla is the closest. She did a braid, but most times she made a loaf. It was so good. Red star yeast has a recipe that’s very good, but you are right. Never find a recipe as good as your grandmother’s.
Thank You so much for this video! I almost cried when I heard the song! The way, how You love Finland, is great! God bless You and Your family! Kiitos paljon tästä videosta! Melkein itkin kun kuulin sen laulun! Miten rakastat Suomea, on suurta. Jumala siunatkoon Sinua ja perhettäsi! ❤
Oh by the way. If you like that cardamom, or how u say that spice. Try it in coffee. If you are using some coffeemaker with those papers where the coffee goes, put some cardamom there. We use cardamum specially at christmas so it brings back the christmas time
Yeah, the Finnish Finnish kids won’t usually bother to do anything with their parents but just do somithing with their phones. They just play games (boys) or follow social media (girls)…
Nice one Roy! It took me several trial and errors to recreate some of my grandmothers "recipes", she did not have any. Her "recipes" was passed down from my great grandmother in Karjala by just watching and participating in every day work. Everything was made by feel and experience. I miss my grandmothers food, specially karjalanpiirakat. Mine doesn't even come close to hers.
Yooper native here, and I grew up calling it nisu. I used to help my grandmother make it at Christmas time, my mother-in-law makes it occasionally, and my daughter recently learned how to make it. The smell of it baking instantly transports me back to my childhood and the holidays. Yum.
If you heat the milk, you can add the dry yeast to a bit of flour and then add the rest of the flour....and melt the butter....anyhow there are as many ways to make pulla as there are bakers 😊
What I remember about pulla from my "mummi" was, that the secret was to get cardemum kernels, not the pre-grinded stuff. My responsibility was to grind them in the pestel mortel (also eat the dough). Made huge difference...since you mentioned twice that you like cardemum. Hyvää kevään jatkoa!
I haven't found whole cardamom pods in a long time but yes, I liked them better as well. When I was a kid I would always sneak into the kitchen when the dough was rising and take a pinch. :)
@@RoyRissanen I usually get the peeled cardamom, it's called decorticated, and I have a special coffee grinder I use to grind it- lot more flavor. You should be able to find whole (with the pod) in bulk food stores or Indian markets, they green (same as the white, just not bleached) , don't buy black cardamom pods though, those are for savory cooking. I get my cardamom from eBay, making sure it's organic and seller is not from abroad. I find pre-ground loses flavor fast and some brands have part of the pod ground with seeds to stretch the stuff which also mean less flavor. I also keep mine in airtight container in the fridge. I prefer Guatemalan cardamom opposed to Indian myself, I believe Finland imports lots of theirs from Guatemala.
My mother taught me that the best pullat are made when the dough is so moist that it is difficult to handle. I have to say, you are more finnish than most of the finns back here in Finland 😄
Ha ha the music in the background takes me way back! Both of my grandmother's pulla was so good...I think the ingredients were cleaner / more authentic in my childhood. Now I luckily have a husband that bakes great pulla. Just found your vlogs. Greets from Finland!
Moi Emilia. Thanks for watching. That is my father singing in the background; there is a link to some of his recordings in the description. And yes, for one reason or another Grandparents pulla will always be the best pulla. :)
Looks delicious! Im not sure if it's just a local habbit or not, but we call those type of pullas "korvapuusti". The ones you roll like that. Edit: okay everyone seems to call them by that name.
You son has Ukonkirves in his neck! Cool! :) Does i have significant meaning for him? This video made me so happy. lerly you have been baking together before. I love your background music
Thank you S K. My son has been researching, on his own time, Finnish culture and mythology. That is my father singing in the background. There is a link to his songs in the description.
Nice relaxed video. Would have been interesting to know your son's opinion on the various types and if he also liked eating the braid with butter spread on it.
Hi, I need to share my own pulla story. I was never taught to make it, I watched my mothers mother make it but never asked her recipe same with my mothers aunt. They both made pulla very differently and in the end (my mother hate baking) I ended up developing my own recipe and way to make pulla. I combined some my grans and great aunts methods but mostly it is my own recipe. I have had my 100yo grandpas approve so I'm quite confident about my pulla making. :D Also as a side note I don't ever use eggs. Those doesn't add anything to the pattern in my opinion.
Love to watch this video, you really have a skills to bake ☺ If you like, you can add a pinch of salt to the egg and mix, salt breaks the eggs texture and its easier to spread to the pulla ☺
Korvapuusti actually most commonly means punishment where you grab someone's ear and then either shake or twist. I think puusti also means pulla (or more pullapitko) so earbun which comes from the way korvapuusti looks a bit like ear.
@@RoyRissanen Joo, parhaat köyhät ritarit tulevat vähän vanhasta pullapitkon viipaleista. Viipaleet saavat vettyä kunnolla maidossa/maito-kermassa, jossa on vatkattuja kananmunia ja sokeria, kanelia mausteeksi jos tykkää. Paistetaan molemmin puolin voissa!! Nam! Pullaan saa paremman kiillon kun lisää kahvia kananmunan sekaan voitelua varten.
I do not consider korvapuusti to translate as eardrumm. You are right, korva is an ear. Puusti, dunno. Probably nothing. Korvapuusti has another meaning too. Antaa korvapuusi means slapping (with an open palm) on ones ear or face.
Yeah, about that music... you can choose there, all Finnish and less than 100 years old music :D ua-cam.com/play/PLMwTZIcZdmA3rQci2f-u53QJGqtvUKfzp.html
pullapitko and honey makes best taste, well comparing to korvapuusti and i am not sure anymore, but anyway pulla works with honey (used same way as putter at end of video)

Or archipelago bred breadwithbubbles.wordpress.com/category/recipes/breads/loaves/finnish-archipelago-bread-saaristolaisleipa/ these are one of my favorites to bake. And soon it will be laskiainen and then I'll be baking some laskiaispulla. Some times I put some marzipan between the korvapuusti. Have a nice weekend. Terveisiä suomesta!
Okay, I'll cave. But this is just a ballpark of what I do... Mix it up and have fun with it. for bunn's... 2 cups Milk 50 g yeast 1 egg 2 tsp salt 1 cup (or less) sugar 1 tbs Cardamom 5-6 cups (or less) flower 3/4 cups Butter Bake 10-15 min at 430f For Loaf ... I'll add more flower and a couple more eggs. You can also add raisins to the mix, and sprinkle the top with sliced almonds ( I like to also rost the almonds first.)
Vatkaamalla taikinan juurta ja alustamalla taikinaa saadaan esille SITKO. Taikina irtoaa käsistä, taikinaa voidaan venyttää. Ihanalle kuulostaa tuo musiikki. Tuota laulua laulettiin paljon koulussa kauan sitten. Toivottavasti tällaiset ajatukset säilyvät nykyäänkin. Ihan vettä meinaa tulla silmiin. Taaton maa ja maammon kieli! Korvapuusti!!!🥰
Yes, but saying "a bun" here does not describe the essence of what pulla is and how it is different to what people here consider a "bun" or "cinnamon roll" so that was always a way of trying to describe it better to people that didn't know.
How wonderful to see your son see this cultural heritage
Thank you we’re trying.

Wow, great job! My cousin in Minnesota still makes pulla. I need to learn. Love your channel. My great grandparents came from Alajärvi in 1905.
Thank you bebina. It's something I hope not to forget, however I can't make them all year or I will just eat them all. :)
Thank you😍
I have to bake some pulla today.
Here is bright sunny day in Finland, -20°C❄⛄🙋♀️
Nothing like Pulla and hot coffee on a cold day. :)
The music in the background really makes it feel like you're at grandma's house. I can even smell the pulla :)

Yum. Here in the Keweenaw Peninsula you'd hear people call it either pulla or nisu.
Yooper native here, and I grew up calling it nisu. I used to help my grandmother make it at Christmas time, my mother-in-law makes it occasionally, and my daughter recently learned how to make it. The smell of it baking instantly transports me back to my childhood and the holidays. Yum.
I think pulla is called nisu more often at nothern or eastern Finland. For me pulla is pulla, because I'm originally from the west coast. :)

Hienoja pullia👏
Legend says that pulla taste like what ingredient you add last. So I was taught never to add flour after you add the butter.
Moi zabnat. hmm that's interesting. I love legends/traditions like that.
hot pulla and cold milk is best
Right!?
@@RoyRissanenI prefer hot chocolate in the winter…
Looks like you've done this before with your son - based on how you shared those pieces of raw dough.
Great pagers. Game good - lookins puns.🆒️🍮👋.thanks that video.
butter, sugar and cinnamon inside pulla. Those look very good.
Thank you. Yes, very good but have to lay off them for a little while to recover from all the Christmas food.
Pulla and cold milk.
These look great! I bought some pearl sugar from the finngoods website to add on mine which I thought was a nice little touch :)
Thanks, Brent. I was looking at that online today.
I loved this one!
Thank you Jennifer. I miss morning pulla with coffee ... alas summer is coming. :)
Love to watch this video, you really have a skills to bake ☺
If you like, you can add a pinch of salt to the egg and mix, salt breaks the eggs texture and its easier to spread to the pulla ☺
Interesting. I would always get a little worried how the egg would look 'funky' when you added salt to it. Thank you for watching Sini. :)
I knew yall were in canada when I saw the tout usage on the the flour bag
ha.. yes, a few different brands to get use to here in Finland now.
Pulla is the best. No raisins!
Use a more rough sugar for the "pitko" topping.
Yes, my mother never put raisins in her's so I have never used them in mine, althought I do not mind pulla with raisins.
@@RoyRissanen Pulla is pulla, even pakkopulla is pulla 😃
Have you got baking paper for the oven sheet? Much easier👍 You are great baker 😍
Ha. Thank you. Yeah should try that.
This is true, my pulla is never as good as my Grandma’s 😂👋👍
ha. Right!?

Haha man you have so much good food all around you now, I’m the one that’s jealous.
You don’t use baking paper?
I don't normally no. I should try it some time.

I would say that you add too much flour to the dough and it makes it too firm. Soft dough makes the best pulla. Terveiset talvisesta Suomesta!

Pulla is just bun in English. Not "Finnish coffee bread"... "Finnish buns" maybe, but not bread.
Yes, but saying "a bun" here does not describe the essence of what pulla is and how it is different to what people here consider a "bun" or "cinnamon roll" so that was always a way of trying to describe it better to people that didn't know.
No mikä on sämpylä englanniksi? Bun.
