Well you had to know the next international pick was going to be a good one. Miss A is up to bat after all. Some of you may remember that last time she took us to the country of Uzbekistan which turned out to be quite delicious. So where did she take us this time? Greenland! And I have to say, she’s quite excited about it.
Now after my initial research, it became clear that this was going to be challenging. If you’ve ever searched for recipes from Greenland, they’re really few and far between. Especially when you don’t have access to Caribou (the meat – not the coffee). We did learn that Greenlandic cuisine is traditionally based on a variety of proteins including game, birds, fish and marine animals. It is also heavily influenced by Danish and Canadian cuisines. For tonight, however, we let Miss A pick our first recipe which we found on the Rachel Cotterill blog, called Kalaallit Kaagiat (or Greenlandic Cake).
Now I was just hopeful it wouldn’t disappoint her like the last “cake” did, but with ingredients like sugar, raisins and butter we were off to a better start. 
We mixed these ingredients in a bowl with a cup of boiling water and stirred to melt the butter. 
Next we dissolved a packet of quick rise yeast in a 1/4 cup of lukewarm water. 
We then added the yeast to the mixing bowl along with about 3-1/2 cups of flour which we mixed together to form a slightly sticky dough. 
We sat the dough aside for an hour before “lightly” dusting our counter with flour. 
Once the dough finished rising, 
Miss A then began the process of folding and kneading, 
which she handled rather expertly. I literally didn’t knead this one bit. 
When the dough was soft and smooth, we formed it into a round and placed it on a parchment lined baking sheet to rise for another 30 minutes. 
Then before baking, we brushed the top of the dough with milk. 
The dough baked for 25 minutes at 400F and came out a beautiful golden brown (at which point I about fell over – this was gorgeous!). 
Now for those of you that don’t know, I attempted bread making last summer. I had a few successes, but mostly many, many misses. Bread making (like frosting cakes and cupcakes) requires a great deal of patience which I often reserve for other things. So when I saw this loaf come out of the oven I seriously almost started jumping up and down. It worked! 
Maybe it was Miss A’s expert kneading, Courtney’s Amish Country Bread which inspired me to get back into the game a few weeks ago, or just a simple bit of luck, but this bread looked darn good if I do say so myself. Once it cooled we dusted it with a bit of confectioner’s sugar mixed with some cardamom and then sliced some “cake” style. 
And not only did this bread look good – it tasted good too! It’s definitely a sweet bread; in fact, very similar to the Hawaiian rolls we used in our last French toast. It can easily be served as a snack, at breakfast or as a side dish. 
The crust is perfectly colored and textured and the bread is soft, moist and just down-right delicious. Let’s just say there’s very little of this bread left. 
As for our spoon ratings, Mike, Miss A and I came in with the highest possible vote of 4 spoons. Mr. N says he’s only going to give it 3 spoons because it’s not his favorite bread, but it’s really good. (He has since asked for this bread daily and is never satisfied with one serving…hmmm. 😉 ) 
So if you find that bread is challenging, I’d recommend giving this one a shot. And if you have a three-year old on hand to manage all the kneading – even better! Have a great weekend everyone and we’ll be back Monday with our first Greenlandic main course dish. Cheers!

Great post! Bread-making has always been one of my favorite activities to do when babysitting, because not only can kids participate in almost all of it, but it also breaks the time up into chunks that are pretty similar in length to a child’s attention span. Plus, when you’re done you can go on a picnic! I find that it does the same thing for us impatient adults, as well – if I plan to pay bills and balance the checkbook during the first rise, write a blog post during the second, and do some housecleaning while it’s in the oven (note that that is the shortest of the three time increments), I get my tasks done and bread baked and don’t feel like I’ve been slaving away all afternoon.

LOL! She was very excited to wear her new dress to school this particular day. The weather has been fantastic, so she actually wore short sleeves and no coat! She was in heaven. Miss A is definitely our summer child. If she doesn’t end up living in a warmer climate someday I’ll be shocked. 😉

LOL! This just happened to be right before she went to school. She comes home looking much more like herself – barrette out, hair all over the place, stains on the clothes and usually paint on her face. 😉

How are you doing with all the pronunciations! Greenland would indeed be a big challenge, but you’re off to a great start! This looks great! I just love the smile on Miss A’s face! She looks so delighted! What wonderful lessons she is learning and I must say I’m impressed. I need to go back and read more of the beginning blog posts and just see how you started. I love the teaching that is going on in your home…and I’m learning, too! 🙂 Debra

LOL – not a clue how to pronounce this one! The kids are definitely learning a lot and the best part is that they really have no idea! They’re just having fun. 🙂
