This isn't really a recipe. I am in the process of making Finn Bread and was wondering if anyone is of Finnish ancestry.

I am and my posting under Christmas Bread braids refers to my mother-in-law braiding pullah...(not sure if that is how it is spelled.. pronounced bull - law. She was a whiz at it..and my hubby still remembers using it to dunk in his coffe..He calls it (gustah). He spoke Finn before he spoke English. I do not speak it fluently.. just know a few words.. I made pasties last night...Houskaa Jouluah.

I make Nisu which is a braid also with cardamom in it. I don't know what pullah is

I think it is the same thing.. a braided loaf with cardamon and cinnamon/sugar etc. a sweet dough rather than like flatbread. It was yummy...

Yes it is I make it every Christmas season. The Grandkids love it.

used to get Nisu bread at a little bakery years ago - loved it!

I had to open this. My nephew's name is Finn. (for Fionn MacCuaill- a hero in Irish mythology)

No - but in high school I was an exchange student to Finland. Wonderful summer!

My husband is 1/2 Finnish and I have his Aunt's Cardamom recipe that his mother gave me. I make it every Christmas and my son just loves it! I'm 1/2 Norweigian and there are recipes from Norway that also have Cardamom in them. It seems the Scandanavians use it a lot in their breads/sweets.

I am Norweigan and make Julekake. My SIL is Finnish, however.
