Langhopf mould Soufflenheim Uni

Langhopf Mould from Soufflenheim

Outstanding Alsatian Craftsmanship

Make a Langhopf with this glazed clay Langhopf mould from Soufflenheim Uni, crafted from premium clay and handmade in the Ateliers de la Poterie de Soufflenheim in Alsace. This traditional pottery is the result of regional craftsmanship since the nineteenth century.

This Alsatian brioche is made with carefully balanced almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, dried fruit and fine spices. It is then brushed with a butter, sugar and cinnamon mixture for incomparable deliciousness.

The Langhopf is shaped in this elongated clay mould, originally created by Colmar pastry chef Jean Deutschmann. Its authentically Alsatian character makes it a true regional culinary heritage, recognised by its characteristic elongated shape.

Local craftsmanship from Soufflenheim, guaranteed 100% lead-free, compliant with the strictest European food standards.

Langhopf is made from leavened dough like Kougelhopf. The difference lies in the addition of roasted hazelnuts, roasted almonds, nuts and fine spices, as well as in the specific morphology of the mould used, which is perfectly suited to this baking creation.

It is completely elongated and not rounded like the Kougelhopf mould. This special shape gives the Langhopf its own culinary identity and elegant table presentation.

Proceed for the dough exactly as for the Kougelhopf, adding the hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds and spices to the dough as soon as it pulls away from your hands or the bowl if you are using a food processor.

Out of the oven, after carefully unmoulding it, you can coat it with melted butter and sprinkle it with a mixture of fine sugar and cinnamon, or simply dust it with icing sugar as you would Kougelhopf.

The Potteries of Soufflenheim are fired at over 1000°C. These high-quality ceramics withstand intensive oven use without any problems and are also suitable for microwave and dishwasher.

You may occasionally notice very thin, superficial cracks in the enamel of the Langhopf mould. These natural micro-cracks are essential so that the clay in the pottery can expand and contract without risk of breakage or cracking. They are more or less visible depending on the individual piece and chosen colour, and gradually become more pronounced with time and regular use.

Important note: Natural shrinkage of pottery between 2 and 8 % of the pot diameter is completely normal and expected, as the physical phenomenon of water evaporation, which transforms into gas, causes a gradual bringing together of clay molecules to each other.
