This is a traditional Scandinavian Christmas recipe which I bake every year. It is so yummy! When cutting the slices, cut on angle for larger slices.Mrs. Barbara Adam, Swift Current, Saskatchewan Ingredients:
9-1/2 to 10 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
2 tablespoons grated orange peel |
2 cups dark corn syrup |
1 cup water |
1 cup orange juice |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 8 cups flour, yeast and orange peel. In a large saucepan, heat the corn syrup, water, orange juice and butter to 120°-130°; stir until butter is melted. Add to dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky dough). Do not knead.
2. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; shape into four round loaves. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
4. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 4 loaves (10 slices each).
