Steps:
- Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Let cool until lukewarm.
- Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Stir in the lukewarm milk, sugar, salt, cardamom, 4 eggs, and enough flour to make a batter (approximately 2 cups). Beat until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add about 3 cups of the flour and beat well; the dough should be smooth and glossy in appearance. Add the melted butter or margarine, and stir well. Beat again until the dough looks glossy. Stir in the remaining flour until the dough is stiff.
- Turn out of bowl onto a floured surface, cover with an inverted mixing bowl, and let rest for 15 minutes. Knead the dough until smooth and satiny. Place in a lightly greased mixing bowl, and turn the dough to grease the top. Cover with a clean dishtowel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down, and let rise again until almost doubled.
- Turn out again on to a floured surface, and divide into 3 parts. Divide each third into 3 again. Roll each piece into a 12 to 16 inch strip. Braid 3 strips into a loaf. You should get 3 large braided loaves. Lift the braids onto greased baking sheets. Let rise for 20 minutes.
- Brush each loaf with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes. Check occasionally because the bottom burns easily.

- 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.

FINNISH COFFEE BREAD (TRADITIONAL)
Originally this recipe was printed in the Finnish Cookbook but I have been making it every year for Christmas breakfast. Although it is time consuming with three rises this recipe makes three coffee braids, so there is always one for the freezer and to share with friends. Prep time includes approximate rising time.

FINNISH FOOD: 24 MOST ICONIC DISHES TO EAT IN FINLAND

- Finnish Rieska Bread. The Rieska bread is a traditional Finnish flatbread. Finns often make this bread with oat, rye, barley or potato, and they serve it warm.
- Finnish crispbread (näkkileipä) I assure you that there is at least one box of crispbread in every house in Finland. People love crispbread, which is the Finnish equivalent of Swedish knäckebröd.
- Coffee (kahvia) Finnish people drink the most coffee per capita in the world, and coffee in the morning is the most important cup of the day. Those who don’t drink coffee usually just drink a glass of milk instead.
- Finnish Porridge. Finnish porridge is very tasty, and usually topped with fresh or preserved berries or jam, depending on the season. Finns like to pour some milk over the porridge as well, and often Finns eat rye bread with the porridge.
- Bread, bread, bread. Finnish people really, truly love bread. It’s very common in Finland that you just simply eat bread with whatever toppings you can find: ham, cheese, cooked eggs, or even leftover meat!
- Finnish meatballs. Most Finns are proud carnivores, and meat (and fish) have an important place in Finnish food culture. Meatballs are simple to make and delicious, and Finns consider meatballs as an “everyday meal”.
