Pulla is a soft, slightly sweet Finnish bread made with plenty of butter, which results in tender pieces that can be pulled apart, bite by bite. A hint of cardamom and a handful of plump raisins make it a special treat for teatime.

Cooks' note:

Pulla can be made 2 days ahead and kept, wrapped well, at room temperature or frozen 1 month.
