Cuckoo Hof, also called Kouglof, is a dessert from Austria and a local specialty in Alsace, France. Its shape is very unique, it is a crown shape made of a hollow spiral mold, so it is very eye-catching, and it has become a cake for many European families to make at Christmas. Its method is the process of bread, but because it is rich in fat, the taste is similar to cake. The traditional Cuckoo Hoff should be put in lemon shavings, I omitted it if I didn't have it on hand.

2. Then mix all the ingredients except raisins and butter. Yeast needs to dig a small hole in the flour to bury it to avoid contact with sugar and salt in advance to kill its activity.
3. Let's knead the dough afterwards
4. When kneading into a smooth dough, put in the butter cut into small pieces, and knead it until it can pull out a large piece of film.

5. Immediately after the baking is out of the oven, buckle upside down on the drying rack, and demould as soon as possible, or the moisture will not escape and the bread will become damp.
After that, sift a layer of powdered sugar on the surface for decoration and eat it.

Tips:

1. Cuckoohof is a high-sugar, high-oil and high-liquid dessert, so the dough will be a little sticky when kneading, especially after adding butter, it will be softer than ordinary dough and stick to the inner wall. Stopped a few times in the middle, scraped the inner wall and knead again, but in the end the dough will become smooth.
2. If you knead the dough by hand, it will feel crazy, so it is best to use a cook machine or bread machine to knead it. Or you will collapse.
3. I rarely use this mold. If you don't have one, you don't need to buy it. Replace it with a six inch chiffon.
