Sweet Bread(Scandinavian)

Melt butter in hot milk and set aside.

Add yeast to cool milk and add sugar, cardamom, salt and eggs.

Combine the two sets of liquids in a large bowl. Add approximately 8 cups flour.

Knead into a rather stiff dough.

Let stand overnight.

In the morning divide the dough into 6 pieces.

Roll out into strips, 1 1/2-inches in diameter.

Braid 3 strips together into a loaf.

Set on a greased flat pan or cookie sheet; let dough rise lightly, about 1 hour. Bake at 350° for about 35 minutes (until nicely browned). Remove from oven; brush top with sugar melted in a little hot coffee. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
