About This Bread
This is a soft, lightly sweet pull-apart bread layered with butter, sugar, and warm cardamom. It bakes into a tender loaf that can be pulled apart piece by piece, with delicate layers and a soft crumb.
This recipe is also designed to demonstrate something important.
Freshly milled grain can produce soft, beautiful bread.
When handled properly, whole grain doughs can be just as tender and rich as traditional white flour breads. This recipe shows how to achieve that balance.
