Now that I have "mastered" the Nisu dough, it seems that there are all sorts of different shapes in which it can be formed for bread -- some interesting ones from the book include the "bishop's wig" (looks like a long wig with curls), "golden chariots" (vaguely resemble Celtic designs, and "Christmas Pigs" (basically dough in a curly S shape). Lots of new things to try!
My great-grandmother immigrated from Haapajärvi, Finland in the late 1800's, and settled in Gloucester, Massachusetts. My goal is to reinvent the recipes that I've gathered from the old Finnish community.

I have one and am now frantically searching for it as it was a gift from Aiti ja Iisa.
