südet

Sødet is a traditional Danish sweet bread, often enjoyed during the Christmas season. It is a type of panettone, a sweet Italian bread, and is characterized by its dense, moist crumb and rich, sweet flavor. The bread is typically made with a dough consisting of flour, yeast, sugar, eggs, milk, and sometimes butter or lard. The dough is allowed to rise, then shaped into a loaf and baked until golden brown.

Sødet is often flavored with a variety of ingredients, including citrus zest, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and sometimes raisins or candied fruits. The exterior of the bread is often brushed with a mixture of egg yolk and sugar, which gives it a glossy finish and adds a subtle sweetness.

The bread is traditionally served with a cup of hot coffee or tea, and is often enjoyed with a slice of butter. It is also a popular choice for breakfast or as a snack throughout the day. Sødet is a beloved treat in Denmark and is often associated with the festive season, but it can be enjoyed year-round.
