  • Swabian Hefezopf •

  • You need:
    500 g Wheat flour, Type 550
    1/2 Cube Backing yeast (about 18 g)
    80 g Sugar, 1 Pack Vanilla sugar
    80 g Butter
    250 ml Milk
    1 TSP Lemon peel (no synthetic flavor!!)
    1 Egg, 1 Egg yolk for brushing
    1 TSP Salt (7 g)
    100 g Raisins, 50 g Flaked almonds


  • Preparation: Bring all equipments and ingredients to room temperature. Prewarm the milk to 35-40°C, in 100 ml suspend the yeast. Mix with 1 TBS suggar and 1 TBS flour and let rest for 20 min at 30°C to make a sponge. In the meantime fit a kitchen machine with a dough hook and put in its mixing bowl the rest of the flour (sieved), and all other remaining ingredients (except the flaked almonds), mix. If everything is mixed, add the sponge. Now knead with the kitchen machine as fast as possible, as long as the dough blisters and separates itself from the mixing bowl (ca. 5-8 min). Now cover the dough with a moist dish towel and let it rest at a warm place (ca. 22 °C) for 3 hours. Then put it on a floury table and knead it well by hand. Now split the big chunk into three equal chunks. From evey little chunk form a 40 cm long strand. Combine every strand at one end and starting from this connection, make a plait. Put the plait on a baking tray and let it rest for 30 min at ca. 22 °C. Mix one egg yolk with a little bit of water and brush the plait with this mixture, than dredge with flaked almonds (and coarse sugar, if you like). Bake in a 180°C preheated oven (top-/ bottom heat) on the lowest rack for 20-30 min (until it is light brownish and ready).
  • Käsekuchen (german cheese cake, modified) •

  • Shortcrust base:
    150 g Butter (cold)
    120 g Powdered sugar
    1 Pack vanilla sugar
    2 Eggs
    250 g Wheat flour Type 405, sieved
    120 g Corn starch
    1 Pinch salt
    1 Pinch cinnamon (about 1/2 TSP)
  • Filling:
    750 g Curd (min. 20% fat)
    125 g Sour cream, 200 ml Cream
    50 g Corn starch
    200 g Sugar
    4 Eggs
    1 TSP Backing powder
    1/2 Pack vanilla blancmange powder
    2 TSP Lemon juice, 1 TSP lemon peel
    1 Vanilla pod
    70 g Raisins


  • Base: Stir one egg yolk, one whole egg, the suggar, salt, the butter, cinnamon and vanilla suggar until creamy. Than add the flour and the starch and make a nice dough from it. Make a ball and let this dough ball rest covered in clingwrap for 45 min in a fridge. Line a 28 cm springform pan with the dough so that you have a 3-4 mm thick dough layer. Penetrate the dough bottom with a fork at some places.
  • Filling: Separate eggs (yolk from the white). Scratch out the vanilla pod, dewater the curd. Combine every ingredient for the filling, except the egg white, and mix carefully for 10 minutes. Prewarm the oven for 160°C. Whisk the egg white stiff with a bit of salt (ca 1/4 TSP). Now carefully fold the beaten egg whites in the mixed filling and pour everything on the prepared shortcrust base (springform pane). In the prewarmed oven bake for 30 minutes (top-/ bottom heat) on the lowest rack at 160°C. Than put it out of the oven for 20 min, put it back into the oven and bake for additional 50-60 min until the cake is ready (test with a wooden shashlik rod).
