The soft, cardamom-spiced pulla is a popular Finnish sweet bread made with rich yeasted dough that is usually served sprinkled with coarse sugar, almonds, or walnuts. Whether it is shaped into buns, rolls, or braided loaves, pulla is traditionally enjoyed as a sweet snack accompanied by coffee, tea, or a glass of milk.

It is served on various special occasions, but it can also be found in many bakeries, grocery stores, and coffee shops throughout the country. A similar type of cardamom-spiced bread is also commonly found in Sweden, where it is better known as vetebröd or bulle.
