AUTHENTIC GERMAN KUCHEN - JUST A PINCH RECIPES



Authentic German Kuchen - Just A Pinch Recipes image

All cultures have some type of sweet dough and this German Kuchen is a great example. Kuchen is the German word for cake. The dough is slightly sweet and fluffy and tasty on its own. But, the toppings are where this recipe gets fun. The cinnamon topping is classic and almost like a cinnamon streusel. If you love cherries, try the cherry toppings. It's a wonderful complement to the bread. We'll admit, the butter topping had us confused. There's no butter! Once baked, it sinks to the bottom creates a buttery custard. Simple and so good, the apple is a great topping for fall. The apples bake perfectly and are filled with cinnamon spice. The cheese topping is similar to the butter one where it sinks to the bottom while baking. If you asked us which is our favorite, we wouldn't be able to single one out. They're all good in their own way. Each recipe makes one Kuchen, so keep one or two for yourselves and give another to a neighbor or family. Whichever Kuchen you choose to make, you'll enjoy a bakery-quality treat.

Steps:

  • Dough: Scald milk and add butter, sugar, and salt. Dissolve yeast in warm water in a separate bowl and then add to milk mixture. Beat in eggs.
  • Then add flour.
  • Cover and let rise until doubled. About an hour.
  • Punch down and divide into 5 pieces.
  • Roll out into the desired shape and let rise 30 minutes. Then choose your topping. I used a 9" round cake pan for mine.
  • Cinnamon Topping: Use a pastry blender to mix butter and brown sugar and flour. Add cinnamon and sprinkle over dough after it rises the second time.
  • Dot with butter if desired.
  • Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.
  • Cherry Topping: Heat can of dark cherry pie filling.
  • Spread on the crust after it rises a second time.

  • Pour on the dough after rises a second time.
  • Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.
  • Butter Topping: Beat together sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Slowly beat in oil. Add oil too fast and it will curdle. Heat on top of stove until hot.

  • Bake 25 minutes at 375.
  • Apple Topping: Roll this dough out in a rectangle.
  • Peel and slice thinly 3 apples. Fill the center with apples and dot with butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and nutmeg to taste.
