Gee thanks for that....you must be an American....

[bobcatrogers]

what are you talking about...water? What water?

[bobcatrogers]

I only mix the dough partially with the mixer; then knead by hand. My girls who spent time in Finland soften and whip the butter and mix it in with the hands. And you are right, 425 is way too hot...I bake it at 350-375F. The recipe I was using at the time called for 425F, so some original Finns actually used that temp!

@bobcatrogers In one thing you are right, the temperature for pulla varies a bit depending on the size and what you are going to bake: pikkupulla, pullapitko, bostonkakku, korvapuustit, etc, etc. :D Do you know how to make Bostonkakku (Boston Cake)? Its a Very Finnish recipe of cake made with pulla bread and it´s perfect for small tea parties, its super easy to make, impresive looking and delicious...

@Evelyn40420 I've never heard of bostonkakku. I will email my finnish daughters and ask them

For my family, it is perfect when it is light and fluffy, a little like Wonderbread! Even when it's more dense, it is perfect, but needs to be dunked in coffee or toasted and buttered.

@bobcatrogers Pulla baking is one of the things i would really miss of Finland, it´s lovely and delicious :), it´s very nice to see that Finnish roots extend to the other side of the ocean, out of this little country :) Finnish culture is hard to understand deeply at first, but when it opens to you it´s really really beautiful :) it´s my husband´s culture and I love it dearly, almost like my own :)
