Skolebrød

Skolebrød, also known as Skolebolle, is a delightful Norwegian sweet roll that is a favorite among both children and adults. Made from a soft, yeasted dough, it is filled with rich custard and topped with sweet icing and a sprinkle of grated coconut. The treat gets its name because it used to be a popular item in school lunches and bake sales.

Interestingly, the name varies depending on where you are in Norway. In Western Norway, people call it Skolebolle, while in the eastern and northern parts, it's more commonly known as Skolebrød. In Arctic Norway, there's a special twist on this treat called Solbolle. This version omits the icing and coconut and is enjoyed to celebrate the sun's return after the long polar night.

Whether you call it Skolebrød or Skolebolle, this delicious bite of Norwegian tradition is sure to bring a smile to your face!
