Homemade Chimney Cake Strips

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Although locally called 'Gyertyánkenyér', this is essentially a home-oven version of the classic chimney cake (Kürtőskalács) usually roasted over charcoal. Beneath the crunchy caramelized sugar crust lies soft, pull-apart yeast dough.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Beer cans or paper towel rolls covered in foil (instead of a spit)
  • Brush

Allergen Information

⚠️ Wheat
⚠️ Milk
⚠️ Egg

Instructions

1 ✓

Proof the yeast in lukewarm, sugary milk.

Tip: If the yeast doesn't foam up in 10 minutes, start over, the yeast is dead.
2 ✓

Knead a soft dough from flour, egg yolks, butter, pinch of salt, and the yeast mixture.

Tip: Add fat (butter) at the end of kneading so it doesn't inhibit yeast activity initially.
3 ✓

Let rise until doubled in a warm place (approx. 1 hour).

Tip: Drafts are the enemy of yeast dough.
4 ✓

Roll out the dough, cut into 3/4-inch wide strips, and wrap around the oiled forms so edges overlap slightly. Roll gently on the counter to stick them together.

Tip: Press the cylinder gently against the table while rolling to even out the surface.
5 ✓

Brush with melted butter, roll in granulated sugar, and bake at 400°F (200°C) (preferably standing up) until sugar caramelizes.

Tip: Turn halfway if not baking evenly. Sprinkle Cinnamon ONLY AFTER BAKING, because cinnamon burns and becomes bitter in the oven!

What if I don't have a wooden spit?
Use paper towel rolls wrapped in foil or empty beer cans! Bake them standing up on the sheet.
