Kugelhopf ranks second in the culinary landscape of famous Alsatian recipes and dishes, just after the choucroute garnie. A tall, fluted coffee bread that is dusted in confectioners’ sugar and mild in flavor, kugelhopf is an everyday bread that is known historically for being served before weddings and other traditional ceremonies. Available year-round, kugelhopf easily can be found inside most Alsatian bakeries. A delightful bread that can be enjoyed morning, noon, or night, kugelhopf pairs well with coffee, tea, and liqueurs like kirsch.
