My mother made this every Christmas, now that she's gone we wanted to make it to keep the tradition going. This will be very welcome and delightful next year, thank you for your videos.
We make it in our family every Christmas. We put a lot more candied fruit and raisins in though, and a bit more frosting. Great plain or toasted, with butter!
My family is really going to enjoy this lovely bread. I think I will add glazed cherries in place of some of the peel and sultanas. I love the addition of the pearl sugar at the end! I've not seen that type of sugar before.
Hi Geoff Loved this recipe and makes me want to bake it too,like all your recipes do. Will buy everything I need can't wait to eat it. :-) Thank you Geoff Blessings Pat. Loved your shirt too.
Oh hello GEOFF... THIS LOOKS GREAT.. @tasty.... I'm watching Late again we are having a terrible time... I have been consoling my granddaughter who's cat got killed by a car.last night .. @she is so upset 😢🐈oh honestly these animals.....I will be glad to see the back of 2020 🙏🏼💫💙
Hi Henrietta. Thanks very much. I am sorry to hear about your granddaughter's cat. I can understand how upsetting it is, but cats are just so independent and go here there and everywhere. I am cheered that we are coming to the end of the year and there is some hope that things will get better in the spring.
HI Veronika, I hope you enjoy this if you do try it. I will take a look at baked German Cheesecake. If it is something i think I could do I will add to to my list.
Hi Nita, if you use instant yeast it can be added into the dry ingredients. But you still need the same amount of liquid in the recipe. So you need the water and the milk, or you can increase the amount of milk and leave out the water.
Geoff Your video is the most detailed video I have seen for this Christmas bread. I know in your video you detail the quantities of the ingredients used and touch base the mixed and rise times and temperatures. Would you be kind enough to post your reciepe in the quantities of ingredients used and detail the the instuctions on how you made the bread so I do notleave out any important points?
HI Dana. Below every video I post you can click on 'more' and then you will see further details, including a link to the written recipe on my blog. In this case the link is geoffsbakingblog.com/2020/11/norwegian-christmas-bread/
Thank you. I am glad I came across your website. This is kind of of an off beat question but, would know of any good swiss fondue recipes? I want to use some of your bread recipes with the fondue. Thanks.
HI Dana. That is bread flour, or strong white flour in the UK. . In the UK flour is unbleached, however in the USA there is both bleached and unbleached flour.
Nowadays, a lot of people skip the citrus rind as well as the pearl sugar and frosting, and add both dark and light raisens instead‼️ It’s a bit healthier (using less sugar) and both easier and cheaper, too‼️. Most Norwegians put brown (goats) cheese on their julekake, though I just put butter on it, and it is eaten at any time during the day, I.e., not just for breakfast‼️ ❤️
I just came back from spending 6-weeks with my kids over in Norway, and ate julekake just about every single day while there‼️. I don’t like goats cheese either, but I was the only one that didn’t put it on my julekake‼️. We actually talked about not having citrus rind in the julekake anymore, and we all agreed that we prefer it without + getting it from several different sources while I was there, none of it had citrus rind, or pearl sugar, or frosting on top‼️. Just fyi‼️. ❤️
@@mutternav4 I enjoy the citrus in it, since I aways associate that with Christmas. In the UK we use chopped mixed peel in so many things around Christmas time especially.
Hi Debra. Thanks very much. I used shop bought Italian chopped mixed peel for this. I have made my own candied peel in the past and it is very good, but at this time of year I tend to use so much that it is so much easier to buy it.
I tried your English Muffin recipe and they turned out ok. Pretty sure I didn't measure something correctly so they'll be fine the next batch I attempt.
I'm going to have ago at this I remember now that on reading underneath POPPIES CAT HAD BEEN RUN OVER.. SO NEVER DID MAKE IT.. BUT WILL HAVE A GO. TWO YEARS, ON.. WHERE DOSE THE TIME GO. SHE HAS, A NEW, CAT NOW CALLED NORMAN.🐈🤣🙄👍
My mother made this every Christmas, now that she's gone we wanted to make it to keep the tradition going. This will be very welcome and delightful next year, thank you for your videos.
HI J K. You are most welcome. I do hope you find that it is reminiscent of how your mother used to make it.
Ahhh- my Nana made this for us all the time!! It is absolutely our family favorite ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Another must try recipe 😀 is there any chance you can make a “baked German cheesecake “ please
HI Veronika, I hope you enjoy this if you do try it. I will take a look at baked German Cheesecake. If it is something i think I could do I will add to to my list.
Oh my goodness this is wonderful! Thank you so much for this visto
Hi FitAussieAngie. You are most welcome. I am pleased that you like it.
Look very 😋 if I want to use the instant yeast what is the racio
Hi Nita Kishnani, the same amount(10g/3 tsp) of instant yeast instead of active dried yeast will work.
If I use instant yeast I can just mixed with milk and I don’t need water to activate so u still have to add water or no
Hi Nita, if you use instant yeast it can be added into the dry ingredients. But you still need the same amount of liquid in the recipe. So you need the water and the milk, or you can increase the amount of milk and leave out the water.

@@danasummers3871 I have never made fondue, so I can't really recommend a recipe. Maybe some of my viewers will have a suggestion.
Geoff in your recipe soft white rolls what is unbleached strong white flour?

HI Elaine. Thanks for all the information. I liked mine just as they were and with butter. I don't like goats cheese so I would never try that.
