Growing up my mom would make this delectable bread called Pulla. It's a sweet bread that uses a spice called cardamom to give it flavor. Twelve years ago I tried to make this bread gluten free and failed miserably. The bread was flat, hard enough to break teeth, and certainly not desirable. Ever since that depressing moment, I thought gluten free Pulla was impossible. I put up this mental block, it was so bad. Then, last year, my 15 year old neighbor went with her family on sabbatical to Finland, and today she came over to my home and together we attempted to make Finnish Pulla. IT WORKED!!! It was light, it was sweet, and it tasted like the "real" thing. I am so ecstatic right now, I can't even contain my joy.
