As we have worked on this blog, many of our recipes, while they are our own way of doing things, are not anything new. We base our blog on many baked goods and desserts that already exist.

We have talked a lot about Danish culture on this blog, particularly the word “hygge.” If you want to learn more, check out our blog post: “‘Hygge’ – Not Just For The Wintertime!”

Over Christmas, I traveled to Denmark to visit my grandmother and extended family. While I was there, I took a peek in a couple of old cookbooks to get some ideas for new Skandibaking recipes.
February in Scandinavia is the season of Fastelavn and fastelavnsboller. In Denmark, this holiday is similar to Carnival and involves children dressing up in costumes and hitting barrels filled with candy.
November is coming to an end, which means it’s Thanksgiving time in the US! Our favorite part of Thanksgiving is by far the food and quality time spent with family.
We love bread rolls. Possibly more than regular loaves of bread, and that’s a significant statement for us. They’re just the perfect little package of bread, with lots of crust on the outside and a fluffy interior.
Autumn is one of the best times of year to bake, with winter being the only season that beats it. That’s just my opinion, of course, but I think most people who do a lot of Christmas baking would agree!
I firmly believe that a good slice, loaf, roll, etc. of bread has the power to change your entire day. That’s why starting the morning with freshly baked bread is unbeatable and sets you up perfectly for the day ahead.
