SWEDISH CORNBREAD
I found this recipe in the November 1995 issue of Bon Appetit. It is a moist, sweet cornbread that makes a nice accompaniment to breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also delicious right out of the oven slathered in butter. You can prepare it a day ahead, just cool the bread completely, cover with foil and store at room temperature. This also makes yummy muffins.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, salt, butter, ¾ cup sugar, and the cardamom. Warm over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool slightly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Milk should be warm to the touch but not too hot.
- In a liquid measuring cup, dissolve the yeast and remaining teaspoon of sugar in the warm water. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Once the milk mixture has cooled, pour into a large bowl and add the yeast mixture and the egg. Stir until well combined.
- Add the flour, 1 cup (125 grams) at a time, stirring or kneading with your hands between each addition, until no longer sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 15 minutes, or until it springs back when pressed. Transfer to a large bowl greased with butter, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and divide in half. Cut each half into 3 equal portions. Stretch and roll each piece into a 14-inch rope. Place 3 pieces parallel to each other and pinch together the ends on one side, tucking underneath to conceal. Braid the strands together, pinch the ends together at the other end and tuck underneath. Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet and cover with a damp towel. Let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Uncover the loaves and lightly brush with water. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, brushing the excess from the baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Let cool before slicing.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is essential for this recipe. If you can't find fresh corn, you can substitute frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Use a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet is the best pan for cooking cornbread. It distributes heat evenly and gives the cornbread a crispy crust.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: The cornbread should be baked in a hot oven (400°F) for 20-25 minutes. This will give the cornbread a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
- Let the cornbread cool before serving: Let the cornbread cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cornbread to firm up.
Conclusion:
Swedish cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh corn and it can be served with a variety of dishes. Whether you are looking for a side dish for your next meal or a quick and easy snack, Swedish cornbread is a great option.
