One of the souvenirs\u00a0 I brought home after two splendid weeks in france was a clay baking form for Kougelhopf. It is sitting on my kitchen cabinet since then, waiting for me to create a recipe for Kugelhopf.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend I finally found the time to study different Kougelhopf recipes. But I did not like them, all of them use a lot of yeast and give the dough no time to rest properly to develop a good flavour. And I wanted a recipe which uses a preferment for better taste and longer shelf life! And so I decided to use my own interpreation with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2013\/12\/ser-starter-aktuelle-version-mit-angepassten-mengen\/\">sweet starter<\/a> which helps to rise the buttery dough without using a lot of yeast.<\/p>\n<p>The cake is more time consuming then other recipes you may find in the web, but it develops a fine complex flavour and light and feathery crumb. I imaging that even my alsacian great-grandmother would have enjoyed it!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Alsacian Kougelhopf<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>for 2 Kougelhopf pans with 19 cm Diameter<\/p>\n<p>Sweet Starter<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px 3px; padding-right: 0px; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"Gugelhupf (2)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Gugelhupf-21.jpg\" alt=\"Gugelhupf (2)\" width=\"205\" height=\"304\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>150g <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/2013\/12\/ser-starter-aktuelle-version-mit-angepassten-mengen\/\">sweet Starter<\/a><\/li>\n<li>150g flour Type 550<\/li>\n<li>75g Water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Soaker<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>75g raisins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dough<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sweet Starter<\/li>\n<li>275g flour Type 550<\/li>\n<li>160g Egg (3 eggs size M)<\/li>\n<li>20g Water<\/li>\n<li>5g Salt<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 vanilla bean, use the scraped pulp<\/li>\n<li>15g fresh yeast<\/li>\n<li>200g cold butter<\/li>\n<li>100g sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Decoration<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>almonds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mix all ingredients for the Sweet starter and let it rise for 3 hours at 30\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Bring water to boil and soak the raisins for 1 hour.
