FINNISH CARDAMOM BRAIDS
Every Finn I know often serves Nissua, a sweet bread with cardamom. I believe my mom's recipe beats all others, hands down! Her bread is soft and fluffy while others can be dry . No matter how many Nissua braids she makes for a popular annual craft fair, they're all gone by noon!-Anne Heinonen, Howell, Michigan

Steps:
- Brush a large bowl with butter. In a small bowl, combine yeast and water. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cardamom, and salt.
- In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat granulated sugar with egg on medium-high until pale and fluffy, 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low; add evaporated milk and yeast mixture and beat well. Switch to bread-hook attachment. Add flour mixture; mix until a shaggy dough forms. Continue to mix on medium-low, scraping sides of bowl and removing dough from hook a few times, until soft and pliable, 8 to 10 minutes. Mix in butter, 1 tablespoonat a time, until combined.Continue mixing until onlya sheen of butter slicks bowl.
- Transfer dough to a clean surface; knead a few times to form into a ball. Transfer to preparedlarge bowl; cover top with plastic wrap. (Dough can be made to this point and refrigerated up to 1 day.) Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 60 to 90 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Punch down dough; divide into 4 equal pieces and cover with a clean towel. Remove one piece; roll into a 1-inch-thick, 18-inch-long rope. Repeat with remaining pieces.
- To make a 4-rope braid, lay ropes evenly side by side, then pinch at the top to connect. Take rope farthest to the right and cross it over second rope, so it is now the second rope. Take ropefarthest to the left and cross it over third rope, then take second rope and cross it over third.Repeat pattern to create a 12-inch-long loaf. Tuck ends and sides under; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with a clean towel. Let rise in a warm place until not quite doubled in size, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Whisk yolk and whole milk to combine. Brush loaf with egg wash; sprinkle with pearl sugarand almonds. Bake, rotating once, until evenly golden and a thermometer inserted in center registers between 205 degrees and 210 degrees, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely before slicing. Nisu is best the same day, but can be wrapped in plastic at room temperature up to 1 day.

- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk 2 cups milk and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Add butter and stir until melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly until warm, about 115 degrees F. Stir in yeast until dissolved; let stand 5 minutes until mixture is slightly foamy from the activated yeast.
- In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, combine milk mixture, 2 cups flour, salt, cardamom and 1 egg on low speed until just combined. Stir in 3 more cups flour until just incorporated, then stir in enough of remaining 1 cup flour just until dough pulls away from sides of bowl and forms a soft, smooth, elastic and only slightly sticky ball (if mixing by hand, you can use a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms, then turn the dough out onto a floured countertop and gently knead until dough is soft, smooth, elastic and only slightly sticky).
- Lightly grease a large bowl. Gently shape dough into a ball, then place in greased bowl; turn dough once to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a tea towel and let dough rise in a warm place 1 hour until doubled.

- In a small bowl dissolve yeast in warm water; let stand 5 min. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine 2 cups of the warm milk, granulated sugar, 2 tsp salt, cardamom, 4 eggs and 4 cups flour. Add the yeast mixture and stir for 1 min.
- Stir in the melted butter and add the remaining flour, about ½ cup at a time while the mixer is on low speed. Dough should pull away from the bowl when enough flour is added. Let dough knead for 5 minutes on low. Cover and let rise until double in bulk, about 1 hr.
- Turn mixer on low again and knead dough for 30 seconds. Remove from bowl to a floured work surface. Divide dough into 3 balls.
- Starting with one ball, divide it into 3 smaller balls for a total of 9. Roll each into a long rope, 14-to-15-inches long, about 1½ inches in diameter. Cut these ropes in half to make enough for 6 small loaves (18 ropes), (or leave them long to make 3 large loaves.)
