This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie  recipe is Kugelhopf chosen by lovely Yolanda of The All-Purpose Girl. The recipe can be found  on pages 61-63 of “Baking:From My Home to Yours” by Dorie Greenspan. It’s a lovely brioche type dough studded with raisins er…dried cherries, plums and apricots for me as (you probably know by now) I only like raisins on a limited basis.
The dough is easy to make and produces a lovely, buttery, very slightly sweetened bread. I have a steamed pudding mold that I planned to use to bake it in but couldn’t find. Rick has been working his hind quarters off out in the shop trying to get some woodworking projects for friends completed- so I didn’t feel like bothering him to help me locate the box that pan is stored in the basement. I ended up using a tube pan intended for angel food cakes and it was a bit large so I got a slightly flattened end result. I’ve been so busy lately that I had to take my dough with me to work to raise before baking so that I could bake it off at a reasonable hour. It was kind of funny to have the pan nestled in a drawer at my desk next to my portable radiator, dough rising away for the last 2-1/2 hours of my work day.
All in all, I give it a thumb’s up -very yummy. Thanks to Yolanda,  Dorie and also to Laurie the creator of TWD.
Kipling thinks Kugelhopf is a very curious name for something that smells so much of lovely butter!
What a funny desk drawer story. Glad you enjoyed

Kipling looks likes hes about to run off with the whole delicius cake. And who could blame him?
Count me in your group for limited use of raisins, and then the golden raisins go best with me.
Now cherries, well cherries make me very happy much more often.
Beautiful Kugelhopf.
