A classic gugelhopf, aka kugelhopf, is a yeasted bread, orignated from Austria and southern Germany, similar to a French brioche, which is fantastic for breakfast or afternoon tea served with extra butter. You can make the kugelhopf plain, with dried fruits, chocolate, spices or savoury with mustard or/and bacon. If you can't find fresh yeast, use 1 package / 7 grams of active dried yeast. Enjoy it warm with extra mustard sauce or herb crème fraîche.
Mustard Yeast Gugelhopf

- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Grease a 22cm gugelhopf (ring) pan and dust with 1 tablespoon of the flour and tap out the excess. Set aside.
- Place the spelt flour into the bowl of your mixer and make a well in the center. Mix the yeast, sugar and milk in the well. Mix with a little flour to form a thin paste and leave to stand for 30 minutes until the paste foams. Add the salt, butter, eggs and mustard, knead into a soft, smooth dough.
- Turn out the dough on a clean work surface and knead briefly. Shape the dough into a ball and make a hole in the center with your fingers.
- Place the dough into the prepared pan, cover and leave to rise at room temperature for 11/2-2 hours until almost double in volumn.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes in the lower half of hot oven until the kugelhopf is risen, golden and firm. Remove the bundt cake, leave to cool slightly, then turn out onto a wire rack.

Bet it was soft as heaven, I love that it is savoury, and isn't gugelhopf the cutest word in the world? I just love Deutche schprache.
Looks yummy, more like a cake than bread!
Take care, enjoy your day!
...Angie, I always learn something new when I visit and gugelhopf is a great example.
That sure does sound really interesting, I'd try it!
Looks delicious! Years ago I tried using spelt flour for baking I really liked it a lot-but had too much gluten in it for my celiac issue. I always liked the results from it
gorgeous and looks very tasty!
Wow this sounds interesting and certainly worth a try. Thanks Diane

This is a real showstopper for anyone looking to explore beyond the classic sweet versions of kugelhopf. Perfect for bread lovers who want something savory with a bit of character.
This looks both pretty and delicious! I need to try this recipe!
