Vortbrod - Swedish Christmas Bread Recipe

This bread is a Christmas favorite, and is great served with cheese, cucumbers, liver paste, or whatever else you like on sandwiches. Our version uses the bread machine to keep it simple, but can also be made in a mixer with a dough hook then baked in a bread pan. Subscribe for more videos: http://bit.ly/19xN8ok

The official way to make this includes beer, but this bread is still the same spiced holiday vibe without it.

Vortbrod Recipe for the bread machine

Throw all of the following ingredients into a bread machine:
--2/3 cup milk
--1 egg
--1/4 cup molasses
--3 tbsp butter
--2 cups whole wheat flour
--1 cup rye flour
--1 tbsp white sugar
--3/4 tsp salt
--3/4 tsp ground ginger
--1 tsp cardamom
--1/2 tsp cloves
--1 tsp yeast

We forgot to mention in the video:
--1/3 cup raisins
--1 tsp orange zest

If you don't have a bread machine, use a mixer with a dough hook for 5-8 minutes, let rise for 2 hours, then bake at 390 degrees F for 40 minutes.
