Finnish Coffee Bread, also known as pulla, is a traditional bread that is commonly enjoyed in Finland and its neighboring countries. It is a soft and fluffy bread that is lightly sweetened and spiced with cardamom. This bread is often served with coffee or as part of a brunch spread. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a snack or dessert. This bread is easy to make using a breadmaker and is a perfect addition to any breakfast or brunch table.

Instructions

1.	Add the warm milk, beaten egg, and melted butter to the breadmaker's pan.
2.	In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, crushed cardamom, and yeast.
3.	Add the dry ingredients to the breadmaker's pan. Select the dough cycle and press start.
4.	Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a floured surface, and knead for a few minutes.
5.	Divide the dough into two equal parts, and roll each part into a long rope.
6.	Twist the ropes together and shape into a circle. Place the circle onto a greased baking sheet, and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
7.	Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.
8.	Brush the surface with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar (optional).
9.	Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown. Let cool before slicing and serving.
