Grandma Nett's Swedish Coffee Bread image

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.

This bread is delicious! I made it for a brunch party and it was a huge hit. The bread was light and fluffy, and the glaze was the perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.
