A type of Alsatian yeast bread that can be prepared as a sweet or savory loaf. There are many versions of this bread and it is made in other countries besides France. Germany and Austria have several adaptations of kugelhopf. Most recipes call for the eggs and butter as enrichments and some call for milk to be used instead of water. The sweet versions often contain raisins or currants in addition to sugar, a generous portion of almonds, and vanilla flavoring. Savory versions may contain onions, bacon, or other chopped ingredients. The bread is baked in a crown shaped kugelhopf pan, which resembles a tall bundt pan. Kugelhopf is also known as kugelhupf, gugelhupf, kougloff, and suglhupf.
