The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I found the recipe a little work intensive while working with the softened butter, but the end result was well worth it. The flavor and texture was quite pleasant. Next time I bake this bread though, I am going to switch the sugar for honey to see how it works.
