GERMAN WALNUT COFFEE RING: NUSS-KRANZ

Steps:

• FOR THE DOUGH: Sprinkle yeast over the water in large bowl of electric mixer. Add 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Let stand until yeast is soft (about 5 minutes).
• Add the remaining sugar, milk, salt, vanilla, and butter.
• Add 2 cups of the flour, mix to blend, then beat at medium speed until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes). Beat in egg yolks, one at a time. Stir in about 1 1/4 cups more flour to make a soft dough. You can use a wooden spoon or hands to mix also.
• Turn dough out onto a board or pastry cloth coated with some of the remaining 1/4 to 1/2 cup flour. Knead until dough is smooth and satiny and small bubbles form just under surface about 10 to 12 minutes, adding just enough flour to prevent dough from being sticky.
• Turn dough in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Cover with inverted bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Roll dough out on a floured surface to make a 16-inch square. Spread with Spiced Walnut Filling, leaving a 1/2-inch margin on all edges. Starting at one side, roll up jelly-roll fashion; pinch to seal edge. Cut roll into 1-inch slices.
• Place slices, on edge, in a well-greased, 10-inch angel food cake pan; overlap slices, pulling every other one to outside edge of pan (slices between should be pulled to inside edge of pan). Let rise until almost doubled in bulk (40 to 50 minutes). Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Bake until coffee cake is richly browned (35 to 40 minutes). Let stand in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then remove pan sides and tube; transfer cake to rack. While warm drizzle with Powdered Sugar Icing and sprinkle with 1 Tablespoon ground walnuts (reserved from filling). Let cool to room temperature before slice to serve.
• FOR THE SPICED WALNUT FILLING: Preheat oven to 350°F Spread walnuts in a shallow pan. Bake until they are golden brown and smell fragrant (10 to 12 minutes) Let cool slightly, then place all the walnuts in food processor (or half the walnuts at a time in blender); process or whirl until finely chopped. Set aside 1 Tablespoon chopped walnuts for decoration. In a medium bowl combine sugar and cinnamon. Mix in the remaining chopped walnuts, butter, and vanilla. Then blend in egg.
• POWDERED SUGAR ICING: In a small bowl combine sugar, butter, and vanilla. Gradually blend in water until icing is smoothly mixed and of a good consistency for drizzling.

GUGELHUPF / KUGLOF / KUGELHOPF - GERMAN/HUNGARIAN COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Into a food processor, place flours, lemon rinds, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and butter. Process until mixture is crumbly. Set aside.
• In small bowl, warm milk to about 115°F stir in remaining tablespoon of powdered sugar and package of yeast. Let sit until bubbly (about 10 minutes).
• Separate 4 eggs - beat yolks and refrigerate whites, to save for filling.
• Add yolks to the yeast mixture.
• In large bowl place flour/butter crumbles and pour eggs/yeast over top.
• Keeping it inside the bowl, mix and knead the dough one handed (use both hands if necessary) until smooth - IMPORTANT: dough will be very gooey and sticky- DO NOT add more flour, just work the bumps out.
• Once dough is smooth - cover bowl tightly with plastic and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
• Now work on your filling:.
• Place walnuts, powdered sugar and cocoa into food processor. Chop until walnuts are finally grounded.
• Transfer to a bowl and let sit inside refrigerator until dough is ready.
• When dough is ready: Heavily flour your work surface. (I like to spread out a large cheese cloth on my surface and flour it.).
• Remove dough from bowl and roll out into a large rectangle.
• Once that is formed, remove egg whites and whip them in a bowl until stiff peaks form.
• Fold in the grounded nut mixture.
• Spread this filling over the dough rectangle and starting at one side, roll it up like a jelly roll. (this is when it helps to have the cheese cloth under it.).
• Seal the finishing edge with a bit of water.
• Now lift it carefully and place it into a well greased and floured bundt pan. (this task can be done alone, but helps if you have someone to help you lift the roll.).
• Set pan in a cold oven to continue to rise for 2 1/2 hours or until dough is near the rim of the pan.
• Now bake at 325°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes. If during that time the top begins to get too dark before it's ready, lay a piece of foil over the top.
• Allow it cool, then turn out carefully.
• Serve plain or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• Refrigerate uneaten portions to maintain freshness. Slices are good cold or warmed in the microwave.
• Enjoy!
