Future continuous

We'll be travelling across three Nordic capitals

Exploring the culinary revolution thats turned this region into one of the most dynamic food destinations on earth.

In episode four, we're going from Stockholm to Helsinki

We are in Stockholm and it's a beautiful day in a wonderful city

but we need to have some food ,because like any good humans, breakfast is the key to starting your day perfect.

So we're going to start off by exploring one of the more traditional aspects of Swedish and Scandinavian culture

Coffee break is called "fika" and usually they eat cinnamon rolls with it.

This is true, you have. And it's not a normal cinnamon roll from what we've heard.

No it is a normal cinnamon roll. Our version in America is different.

Its a Swedish cinnamon roll and its not exactly the same as what we're used to back at home,

but it supposedly goes great with coffee.

and I'm in the mood for caffeine and sweets.

So we're going to go into this bakery right here called Brillo and go check it out, learn how to make a cinnamon roll.

Alright guys we are going to go have a quick chat with Hakan Johansson

he's actually the winner of the world baking championships so he's like bakery all-star.

It's very popular in all of Sweden and also in Norway and Denmark

We do it with a wheat dough with a lot of butter and sugar

and then inside the filling is cinnamon and also mixed is cinnamon, cardamon, almond paste

and then you twist it together and you put egg on top and then

And now we're going to take the dough out roll it out with this machine

and then we're going to put the filling in.

Is it weird that I kind of want to cover myself in that?

And we're going to roll the bun, and shape it and then afterwards we put in the proof box over here, and then we bake.

Never rolled a bun before but I've rolled plenty of other things.

It's beautifully imperfect, just like you

Do you think you can roll a better cinnamon bun than me?

I'm doing this totally backwards, it needs to go through here, and come back here.

That's not a bad first attempt, is it? I did alright, it's okay.

Rebecca was kind enough to ask if this was my creation.

That lonely little pile of disregarded dough.

Wow! Even better straight out of the oven.

Alright well we're going to take these guys on the road

we're going to have a stroll through the old town.

it's just a never-ending feast. I'm having the best week of my life right now.

So we're going to wander the old town here

this is the most central of the islands in Stockholm, it's not that big

Just going to get lost in these cobblestone streets.

A lot of cities in Europe were destroyed during World War One and Two

A lot of neo-classical architecture is painted beautiful, brightly.

And capped in these sort of copper awnings

which have turned verdgris - a greenish color from the weather and it just looks gorgeous.

We are in the burnt square, which is this tiny little place in the heart of the old town.

There used to be a house here, and that burned down in 1720

And they didn't replace the house nor did they rebuild it.

So they just kept this as an open place and its a really popular place

both for Stockholmers and people to come here and visit

So we are in the big square, and its the main square in the old town

and behind me are two of the most photographed houses in Stockholm.

This is the Stockholm bloodbath square, correct?

Right yeah so Sweden was invaded by Denmark back in the day and all the nobility that resisted were executed here

That's why it was a bloodbath. They were all invited in

And then they were all murdered, promptly.

Never trust a Sicilian, especially in games of wit. - The Princess Bride

And never get in a land war in Asia!  - The Princess Bride
