Recipe of the Kougelhopf of Alsace

22091 Views 6827 Liked
 

Kougelhopf is a Traditional Alsatian pastry that can be eaten as well at breakfast, as an aperitif or as a dessert, sweet or savoury.

Ingredients:

  • 25 g baker's yeast
  • 40 cl of milk
  • 1 kg of flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 300g butter (room temperature)
  • 150 g caster sugar
  • 150 g Malaga sultanas
  • 2 tbsp. Kirsch
  • 75 g flaked almonds
  • 30 g icing sugar
  • salt

Preparation:

Crumble the yeast into a bowl, then add half the warm milk and flour to make a consistent dough.

Leave to rest until it doubles in volume.

Pour the remaining flour into a bowl, add 15 g of salt, the beaten eggs and the remaining warm milk.

Mix everything together.

Knead the dough for 15 minutes, lifting it with your hands.

Add 250 g of butter, the sugar and the sourdough and knead again.

Cover the dough with a cloth and leave to rest for 1 hour.

Put the grapes in a cup and sprinkle them with Kirsch to make them swell.

When the dough has risen, tap it, then break it up and add the grapes and kirsch.

Butter a Kougelhopf mould, line the grooves at the bottom of the mould with the slivered almonds, then pour in the dough.

Leave to rest for about 1 hour.

Place in the oven at 180° (gas mark 6) and bake for 45 minutes.

Leave to cool before removing from the tin, then sprinkle the Kougelhopf with icing sugar.

It's ready! Bon Appétit !
