Norwegian Christmas Bread Recipe

Easy Norwegian Christmas Bread Recipe

I was looking for Christmas Recipes other than cakes and cookies to try this year.And thats when I asw this Julekake/ Julekaga or Norwegian Christmas Bread Recipe.This was already a proven recipe as it was given in the ‘We knead to Bake’ challenge and many of our fellow bloggers have tried it already and posted, that gave me extra confidence to bake it.I always had fear trying yeasted bakes and that was only till Padma introduced me to instant dry yeast, and now I love to try yeasted bakes and find every opportunity to bake them.

This Julekake bread came out so soft, with the cardamom flavour and tutti frutti it reminded me of our local bakery’s thenga bun(coconut bun) just the flavour alone and we all loved it so much.

Brush it with milk.Set aside for 30-45mins, I left it for 30mins.Preheat oven at 180 deg C for 10 mins.Sprinkle sugar on top and bake in oven at 180 deg for about 30mins.If you find the bread browning too quickly, cover it with foil after about 15 minutes in the oven to avoid further browning.How to make Easy Norwegian Christmas Bread Recipe - Step7

Cool it on a rack. Let it cool completely before you slice it.

My Notes:

  • The only mistake I did was while letting to rise my top was not smooth and I kept it as such to bake so had an ineven top.I should have kneaded it well in step 7 so that there are no cracks on top.Only lookswise it had cracks, the top was soft  not crusty.So I recommend kneading the dough well to have a smooth finished top without cracks.
  • If you want you can make an icing made with 1/4 cup icing sugar and few tsp of milk.Ans just pour the icing over the bread once it is completely cool.But in that case reduce sugar in the dough else the bread will be very sweet.
  • Grease the baking pan with oil / butter.
  • Place in a well oiled bowl while setting to rise.
  • Sprinkling, rolling and kneading ensures proper ditsr knead in fruit into bread dough.
  • Cool down the bread completely before you slice them.Always use a serated knife to slice.
  • I loved the sugar topping and the crunch it gave while biting so recommend adding it.
