A Housewarming Party - BakedExcuses

Once upon a time there was a housewarming party

It was a really nice party

Full of kind and lovely people

I was a stranger there

But only for a short moment

Before they took me for one of their own

Ystäväni lähetti minulle kutsun tupareihinsa

Juhlia edeltävänä iltana

Kuinkas muutenkaan

Kutsussa kehoitettiin tuomaan ruokaa mukanaan

Kuinkas muutenkaan

Luulen

Miehet eivät ajattele

Ei kehtaa tuoda sipsipussia

Tarvitaan aikaa valmistella

Pyöräytin pellillisen mustikkapullia mukaani

Ei ollut kaardemummaa kaapissa

Ei ehtinyt enään kauppaan

Mies sai kuulla

Vieraat eivät huomanneet mitään

My Vietnamese sisters wanted to learn how to bake Finnish sweet bread

Four black eyes staring in wonder

When I started to make the paste

Four little hands ready to help

When I rolled the sweet breads to shape

This was my first baking class fixed up in English

Baked excuses are the best excuses to spend time together

And afterwards eat together

Awesomeness!

<3 This recipe is for my lovely sisters from far away <3

Blueberry Sweet Bread / Mustikkapullat

3 DL  milk

2 DL  warm water

1 bag  dried yeast

2 DL  sugar

1 teaspoon  salt

150 g melted butter

15 DL  wheat flour

1 tablespoon cardamom

1 egg

Blueberry filling

2 DL blueberries

1 DL curd

1/2 DL sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla sugar

cinnamon

Finishing

1 egg

1 tablespoon milk

Mix the milk, warm water and yeast. Whisk them so there is no lumps.

Add sugar, salt, cardamom and egg, mix.

Add little by little 1/3 of the wheat flour and mix good.

When the paste is too thick for whisking start mixing the paste with your hand.

Add melted butter, mix.

Add rest of the wheat flours and knead the paste

until it starts to come of from the edges of the bowl.

Let the paste raise in a warm place covered with a towel for 45 minutes.

I used a sink with warm water for raising the paste.

Mix the blueberries, curd, sugars and cinnamon.

Take the raised paste and knead the air bubbles out of it on floured table.

Roll the paste to a thin layer on a floured table.

Spread a thin layer of blueberry filling on the paste.

Start rolling from one end, so you have one stick of the paste on the table.

Cut it about 2 cm peaces and put them on the baking tray so the spiral figure is facing up.
Mix the egg and milk and spread the blend on the sweet breads with a brush.

Bake in the oven in 225 °C about 12 minutes or when you think they look ready

(the time depends of the size of your sweet breads).

Bon Appétit!
