Langhopf Mold: The Art of Shaping Alsatian Pastry

The Langhopf mold is much more than just a kitchen utensil: it is the keeper of an authentic and delicious Alsatian pastry tradition. Inspired by the famous Kougelhopf, this elongated mold allows you to create a light and airy brioche, filled with roasted hazelnuts, toasted almonds, walnuts and carefully dosed spices. Less well-known than its big brother, Langhopf is nonetheless a delight to enjoy at breakfast or snack time, delighting the palates of traditional pastry lovers.
