Hungarian Chimney Cake
Hungarian Chimney Cake, also known as Kürtőskalács, is a delicious traditional Hungarian pastry. It’s made from sweet, yeasted dough that is wrapped around a wooden cylinder and then baked until golden brown. The pastry gets its unique shape and name from its resemblance to a chimney.
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1 packet
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Toppings of your choice:
- cinnamon sugar
- nuts crushed
- chocolate
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Pour the yeast mixture, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the flour mixture. Mix well until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into equal portions.
- Take one portion of dough and roll it into a rope shape. Wrap the rope around a wooden cylinder, slightly overlapping the layers until you reach the top. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
- Place the prepared chimney cakes on the baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the chimney cakes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Carefully remove the wooden cylinders.
- Coat the chimney cakes with your choice of toppings, such as cinnamon sugar, crushed nuts, or drizzled chocolate.
