Julekake/Julekaga - Norwegian Christmas Bread




Today's recipe is a colorful Christmas bread which is popular in Norway and Denmark.The bread is scented with cardamom,originally green citrus peel is used along with cardamom.But here I used the raisins and tutty frutty.The bread came out so soft and love the texture of the bread.But the tutty frutty,stuffed is not uniformly mixed.So after stuffing it roll the dough smoothly for couple of minutes to get evenly distributed.Icing on the top of the bread can be optional.Off to the recipe........
