This week’s recipe was chosen by Yolanda of The All-Purpose Girl. I wasn’t expecting much- some kind of bread thing with raisins doesn’t appeal to me. Even less so after I read how long it was going to take me to make this. I halved the recipe and used a muffin pan and used chocolate chips instead of raisins. And yes, I should’ve read this recipe more carefully in advance since it’s 8pm on Monday night and my dough is rising in the oven. Thank goodness for the “bread proofing” setting!
Ok, so past the refrigeration and second rising, (which, I admit, I cut short), and into the oven the Kugelhopf (muffins) went. I was pleasantly surprised how much they puffed up after the first 10 minutes. I put the foil tent over them and that’s about when this wonderful, buttery, sweet smell starting wafting through the kitchen. After another 10 minutes, I took them out because they were golden brown already. I brushed butter over them and sprinkled sugar on the tops. I convinced my husband to try some tonight so I sifted powdered sugar over them and we dug in.
WOW! They were really good- warm and buttery, just the slightest perfect amount of sweetness. I admit I really didn’t think I’d like these, but they’re pretty amazing.
Thanks to Yolanda for the great pick! Check out the TWD blogroll for other results!

Oh, cute! I love that you made the teeny ones.
They look adorable, Jodie. Glad you guys liked them.
Great job, Jodie! I thought the name of them ALONE was very intimidating! They look yummy!!
Great job – I loved this recipe, too!
I was certainly curious about this recipe, but I wasn’t sure what I’d think of it. As it turns out I loved it!
Cute muffins! I kicked around the idea of using my mini bundt pan but ultimately decided to make the whole big shebang.
Your oven has a bread proofing setting? JEALOUS! I need that. HAHA. Your kugelhopf muffins are adorable. Glad you enjoyed the recipe!Clara @ iheartfood4thought
Those look great! I love the mini version- I bet they tasted even better. Nice job!
The muffins are adorable! Love how you sprinkled them with powdered sugar!
Yours sound and look a lot better than mine. I’m jealous you have a bread proofing setting on your oven! That’s awesome!
Oh little cute muffins! Great idea!
How adorable.I am so glad that you liked it.
I love, love, love your kugelhopf muffins. They’re gorgeous and look perfectly yummy!
What a great idea to do them as muffins! They look wonderful! I used chocolate chips too!
So adorable!! I love mini’s, actually made some myself too!
What a great idea to make minis. So glad that you liked them!
I love the little kugelhopf’s and yours looks so yummy.
What cute little muffins! They rose beautifully and look like yummy clouds of goodness!
Oh, I’m so envying your bread proofing setting. Mine took forever and a day! Nice buns. 😉
i love how tiny and cute they are! i agree this recipe is very delicious.
I like your muffin-kugelhopfs. I think thse would have been better warm like you had them – once it cooled, it was a very plain bread.
These are beautiful kugelhopflets. Isn’t it a fabulous cake!
Jodie, Great idea. Thanks for showing us your Kugel-muffins. I may have to try those next time. Mine stuck to my bundt pan in a big way, sadly. Glad you enjoyed.Happy BakingAmyRuth
Isn’t it nice when a recipe you think you won’t like turns out to be really good? Your kugel-muffins look really light and fluffy. Nice job!
Your muffins make me want to try this recipe again! (And that is certainly saying something.) They look fabulous!
