GRANDMA NETT'S SWEDISH COFFEE BREAD
This is from a hand written recipe card from Grandma Nett. Grandma Erickson (her mother-in-law) would make it especially at Christmas time. It was a favorite of the family. They also would freeze it and pull it out for other special occasions as well. The "way to eat it" is to dunk buttered toasted slices in coffee.

- Scald the milk in a saucepan over medium- low heat. Heat until hot, around 150°F, but do not let it boil. Set aside to cool to 100°F.
- Add the warm milk to the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the water, eggs, sugar, and butter. Now add the dry ingredients: yeast, cardamom, 35 ounces of flour, and salt. Always add salt to the side of the bowl and prevent direct contact with the yeast.
- Mix on low with a dough hook for 7- 10 minutes. Towards the end, add a small amount of flour if it looks too loose. Turn the dough out onto a floured counter and finish kneading by hand. The dough is very wet, so try not to add too much flour. You are done kneading when the dough is smooth and elastic and you can do a window pane test.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with cling wrap. Set aside in a warm, draft free location to rise until doubled in size. About 60- 90 minutes.
