Yeast Cake in a Pan

A rich yeast dough that isn't rolled around a filling: nuts, dried fruit or zest are kneaded into it, it rises in the bowl, goes into a kugelhopf pan or a tall pan or is folded into a loaf (stollen), rises again and is baked; powdered sugar on top. Based on the recipes themselves here.

👨‍🍳 Method

For the Dough base

  1. 1
    Dissolve the yeast and tsp of the sugar in the lukewarm milk and leave about 10 minutes, until the mixture foams.
    💡If the mixture doesn't foam in that time, the yeast is no longer active, or the water was too hot. Start over with fresh yeast and body-temperature water.
  2. 2
    Mix the flour, rest of the sugar and salt in a large bowl.

  3. 3
    Add the yeast mixture, the eggs and the butter and Knead about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth, pliable and doesn't stick to your hands.
    ⚙ KneadingBowlStand mixer
    💡For yeast dough, use the windowpane test: a small piece stretches into a thin, translucent sheet without tearing, and that's the sign the kneading is done. Add flour only by the tablespoon, and only if the dough is still sticky after a few minutes: too much flour makes a tough dough.
