In Sweden it is called “Vetebrod”, but we also just called it Coffee Bread in our home. It was always a regular staple in our family and I loved going to my Mor Mor’s house and watch her make it, along with her other regular Swedish baked goods like Spice Cake. My favourite of all time!! Your recipe is very traditional … good job!! I think I’ll make it again soon! It’s been a while.

Hi
I remember having this Coffee bread as a child. I have always wanted to have a go at recreating it. So that is what I am doing. The cardamon pods taking a lot of pounding though!!

Hi Kelly ~ Thanks for stopping by. Wow, you’ve been making Swedish Coffee Bread for a long time. I’d love to try your recipe, if you open to sharing it.

Hi to the baker of the bread. I have a fan club always wanting me to make this bread. I have been making it for over 50 years. With using that much flour I make 4 loaves. I put two braided loaves in 2- 9×13 pans. I use 4 cups milk and 1 stick of butter. Other wise everything is pretty much the same. Your picture looks exactly like mine. What fun to see other people making this great treat for their family.

Our family recipe calls to add the crushed cardamom into the warmed milk & butter mix.

Oh no. Sorry about that. I edited the recipe… but it’s 350 degrees for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden. I hope you give the recipe a try. It’s a family favorite!

There are no baking instructions. Time and temp?
