KRINGLE



Kringle image

Kringle is a favorite bread to serve at Christmas, Easter, anniversary celebrations or any special occasion in Denmark. The bread was developed in the 1800s when Danish bakers went on strike to receive wages rather than just their customary room and board. Bakery owners rebelled and brought in bakers from Austria instead. The Austrian bakers had a unique method of folding light yeast dough with layers of butter to produce a flaky crust. When the strike was finally settled, the Danish bakers were so impressed with the Viennese bread they adopted the technique themselves. Many Danes settled in Wisconsin in the late 1800s and brought with them their craft of making Kringle and other Danish pastries. Originally Kringle was made into a pretzel shape, but customers complained that there wasn't enough filling in the overlapping areas of dough. The current shape was developed in Wisconsin and spread back to Denmark. Note: Don't throw out the egg whites -- all will be used before you finish. Kringle dough is mixed -- not kneaded -- so a bread machine is not recommended. The dough must be made a day ahead and refrigerated overnight. The almond filling is the most traditional, but fruit and nut fillings are gaining popularity.

Time 14h

Yield 2 horseshoe-shaped loaves

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 scant tablespoon or 1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (about 110 degrees F)
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 large egg yolks
1 large egg white
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, very cold
Apple Pecan Filling, recipe follows
1 large egg white
Sliced almonds
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
I'm partial to Granny Smith apples because I like their tart flavor and they keep their shape during baking
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 cups finely chopped, peeled and cored Granny Smith apples
1 cup finely chopped pecans
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • For the Topping:
  • For the Dough: In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, sprinkle the yeast in the water to soften. Heat the cream to 100 degrees F and add it to the yeast along with the egg yolks and egg white. Whisk to combine.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sugar, salt, cardamom, and flour. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is the size of tiny peas. This process also can be done easily in a food processor. Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not mix too much because you do not want to soften the cold butter. You should see small flour-coated pieces of butter throughout the dough.
  • Overnight rise: Put the dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat the entire ball of dough with oil. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap and a tightly woven towel and refrigerate 12 hours or overnight.
  • Shape: Turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled work surface and divide in half. Roll each half into a 24-inch square. Fold the dough in half from top to bottom, then fold the dough in half from side to side to make a 12-inch square. Cover with a towel and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Working with 1 square of dough at a time, roll the dough into a 12 by 24-inch rectangle. Spread half of filling evenly over two-thirds of the dough, filling an area of 8 by 24 inches. Fold the portion of dough that has no filling onto the center third of filled dough, then fold the other third of dough to the center, forming a 4 by 24-inch rectangle.
  • Place the dough seam side down on a parchment-lined or well-greased baking sheet. Bring the ends of the dough almost together (about 4 inches apart) to form a horseshoe. Repeat with the second piece of dough. If you cannot get both Kringles on a baking sheet, cover the second one and put it in the refrigerator until the first Kringle finishes baking; then bake.
  • Second Rise: Cover the with a tightly woven towel and let rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat Oven: About 10 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Final Preparation: For the topping, beat the egg white with a whisk or fork until frothy and brush over the loaves. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and then granulated sugar.
  • Bake and Cool: Bake for 25 minutes until the internal temperature of the bread reached 190 degrees. Immediately remove the bread from the baking sheet and place on a rack to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, stir the sugar, apples, pecans, butter, and cinnamon together until well mixed. Use to fill 2 loaves.

KRINGLE



Kringle image

A classic pastry that originated in Racine, Wis., the American kringle has a flaky, buttery crust and a sweet, tender filling. This one, which is adapted from "Midwest Made: Big, Bold Baking from the Heartland" by Shauna Sever, is rich with almond paste. While kringles are best served within a day or two of baking, they can also be frozen. Just wait to ice them after defrosting, otherwise the icing gets a little sticky.

Time 2h

Yield 2 (10-inch) kringles (about 12 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup/130 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/130 grams bread flour
3 tablespoons/40 grams granulated sugar
2 teaspoons instant yeast
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup/225 grams cold unsalted butter (2 sticks), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/3 cup/80 milliliters cold whole milk
1 large egg, cold
3/4 cup/170 grams almond paste
4 tablespoons/60 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick), at room temperature
1/4 cup/30 grams confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup egg whites, well-beaten (from about 2 large eggs)
Pinch of fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more as needed
1 cup/125 grams confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or lemon juice
Pinch of fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Prepare the dough: In the bowl of a food processor, combine all-purpose flour, bread flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Pulse a few times to blend. Add butter and pulse 10 times, or until butter chunks are broken down by about half.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together milk and egg. Scrape flour mixture into the bowl and use a flexible spatula to stir together until nearly all the flour is moistened. Use your hand to quickly knead the dough to bring it together. Transfer dough to a work surface, pat into a rectangle, and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a roughly 8-by-15-inch rectangle. Fold the two short sides of the rectangle toward the center, folding the rectangle into thirds, like a letter. Rotate dough 90 degrees, then roll out again into a 8-by-15-inch rectangle; fold into thirds again. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 20 minutes.
  • Roll the dough out into a roughly 8-by-15-inch rectangle, fold into thirds, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 20 minutes two more times. At this point, wrapped dough can be kept in the refrigerator up to 3 days, or freezer for 2 months.
  • Prepare the filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine almond paste, butter, confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of the egg whites and the salt. Beat to combine, then beat in lemon juice, adding more to taste, if you like.
  • Line two rimmed sheet pans with parchment paper. Unwrap the dough and cut in half.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll each half into a 6-by-24-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2-cup filling on each in an even strip down the center (about 2 1/2-inches wide).
  • Fold one long side over the filling, leaving the remaining third of the dough exposed. Use a pastry brush to the open border of dough with reserved egg whites on both the long side and two short ends. Fold the second long side over the first; pinch and press the seam tightly along the length and at both short ends, sinking your fingertips into the pastry to create a tight seal.
  • Remeasure dough to make sure it's at least 24 inches long; if necessary, stretch it back out. Form into an oval, then tuck one end into the other. Pinch and press the seam together, then transfer oval to prepared sheet pans and flip over so it's seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot for 30 to 45 minutes, or until slightly puffy.
  • When ready to bake, heat oven to 375 degrees. Brush pastry with more egg white, then bake until golden, about 25 minutes, rotating sheet pans from front to back and top to bottom halfway through.
  • As soon as the pastries come out of the oven (and the pastries are piping hot!), do something that seems a little crazy: Compress each pastry slightly by using the sheet pan with the other pastry on it, setting the sheet pan on top of the pastry and pressing gently to eliminate the air pocket between the pastry and filling. Transfer the sheet pans to wire racks and allow pastries to cool completely.
  • Prepare the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, vanilla, fine sea salt and 4 teaspoons water. Spread icing over tops of the kringles. Let icing dry before slicing and serving.

DANISH KRINGLE



Danish Kringle image

This recipe is from my father-in-law's mother who was born and raised in Denmark. It is a wonderful holiday pastry treat that is both beautiful and delicious. Plan to make your dough at least 1 to 2 days in advance--but it's very simple. It takes just a few minutes to prepare and refrigerate. Creating the kringle takes more time, but it is worth it!

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 13h15m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups brown sugar
1 ½ cups chopped English walnuts, divided
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cut 1 cup butter into flour until crumbly, leaving pea-sized chunks. Stir in sour cream, and mix well; dough will be very sticky. Form dough into a ball. Cover tightly, and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. Prepare the filling by combining 1 cup butter, brown sugar, and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  • Divide dough into three equal parts; return two parts to the refrigerator to keep cold. Quickly form 1/3 of the dough into a rectangle, and flour lightly. On a heavily floured surface, roll out to approximately 12x17 inches. Position lengthwise on the work surface. Along the long edges of the dough rectangle, use a sharp knife to cut 4 inch long angled lines about 1/2 inch apart. Spoon 1/3 of the filling along the length of the rectangle's uncut center. Alternating from one side of the dough to the other, fold each 1/2 inch wide strip towards the center, crisscrossing the filling in a braid-like fashion. Lightly press together the ends of the strips to seal. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the remaining walnuts. Repeat with remaining ingredients to form 3 braided danishes. Arrange danishes on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Cool for approximately 30 minutes. While the danishes are cooling, prepare the icing: mix confectioners sugar and water until smooth. Drizzle in fine streams over warm danishes.

With patience and pride this recipe will yield just that.

KRAZY KRUNCH



Krazy Krunch image

Delicious popcorn snack. In my humble opinion, better than popcorn balls. My sweet adoptive mother fixed this treat for us for Family Home Evenings. It'll always be a good memory!

Provided by LittleJo

Categories     Grains

Time 30m

Yield 2 pounds, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 quarts popped corn
1 1/3 cups pecans, almonds or 1 1/3 cups walnuts
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup clear corn syrup

Steps:

  • Mix popped corn and nuts of choice in a large bowl.
  • Combine sugar, butter, and syrup in a 2 quart sauce pan.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally 10 to 15 minutes or until mixture turns a light caramel color (soft ball stage).
  • Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla.
  • Pour over popped corn and nuts. Mix to coat well.
  • Spread out on a buttered cookie sheet to dry, then break apart into small bite size pieces and enjoy!
  • Makes about 2 pounds.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your kringle. Use real butter, fresh eggs, and high-quality flour.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and will help prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Roll the dough out evenly. This will help ensure that the kringle bakes evenly.
  • Don't overfill the kringle. If you overfill it, it will be difficult to roll up and it may burst open in the oven.
  • Bake the kringle until it is golden brown. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
  • Let the kringle cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and will make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Kringles are a delicious and festive pastry that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can make a kringle that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give kringle a try!
