Baking with Lola: The Cardamom Chronicles
You may not know this, but Lola is quite the cardamom connoisseur. Picture Lola at a bakery faced with an array of tempting treats. What's her go-to choice? Anything that boasts the warm, fragrant hug of cardamom.
In this blog post, I’ve curated a collection of Lola’s favorite cardamom-infused recipes. From Finnish Pulla Bread to Swedish Cardamom Buns, let cardamom turn your kitchen into a flavor party!
Welcome to the Cardamom Chronicles, where spice meets spirit!
#1 Finnish Pulla Bread: A Braided Symphony of Flavor
This braided masterpiece weaves together the warmth of cardamom and the comfort of freshly baked bread, creating a tasty treat that will transport you to the streets of Finland. This is the breakfast bread my family expects every holiday season!

ReplyDeleteYUM!
DeleteI love the smell of Cardamom. I am going to back some cookies today❤️
ReplyDeleteOh, which ones did you make?
DeleteIt's going to be either the Chewy Cardamom Cookies or the Moosewood Cardamom Coffee Cake! Or maybe both!
ReplyDeleteBOTH!
DeleteI use Cardamom mainly in making curries but will need to expand and start making some deserts. Probably will start with the bread and then the buns and coffee cake.
ReplyDeleteSo good in curry!!!
DeleteYummm!
ReplyDeleteI can’t wait to try all of these, we adore cardamom also! First up will probably be the Pulla bread (and coffee cake).
ReplyDeleteThe pulla bread is on my list for next week!
DeleteDamn, wish I'd seen this before picking my cookie to make for the cookie exchange at work tomorrow! I'll pack away that Chewy Cardamom Cookie recipe for next time!! Will fall in line with the Triple Ginger Cookies and Lavender Earl Grey Cookies I've chosen to make in the past 😁
ReplyDeleteOh, those will be so good!!! I love early grey cookies!
DeleteI make pulla (my Finnish grandmother's recipe) often -- not just at the holidays. It's perfect toasted, with butter, apricot preserves, or even a little havarti! Thanks for making this connection! Make the pulla, people -- you will LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteIT IS ADDICTIVE!!!!
DeleteI have been baking these for a few years. The perfect cookie to go with a cup of tea, they have a little crunch!
ReplyDeleteBut I am going to use my 50 lb bag of flour I just bought to make some of these. May need new pants in 2024!!

Before I open my flour bag though, are the Swedish cardamom bun spirals tricky? I need to start easy, but those look yummy!!!
DeleteOh! Those sound divine!!! The buns do have a few more steps, but are worth it!
