GRANDMA'S SWISS NEW YEAR'S BREAD (ZUEPFE)



Grandma's Swiss New Year's Bread (Zuepfe) image

My Grandma's Grandma brought this with her to the US from Switzerland in the mid 1800's. Every generation of our family makes this Swiss Zuepfe for New Year's, sharing with those who aren't bakers. Eat with butter - do not disrespect this bread by using margarine in it or on it! It also makes the most delicious French toast I have ever had.

Time 3h45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
3 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C), divided
1 pint heavy cream
1 cup butter
6 eggs
3 tablespoons salt
8 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Pour yeast into 1 cup water and set aside.
  • Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until scalding, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in butter to melt; add remaining 2 cups warm water. Add eggs and salt; mix until all butter is melted. Pour in yeast mixture and stir.
  • Beat 4 cups flour into the cream mixture with an electric mixer until well combined, adding more flour as needed to make a very stiff dough.
  • Turn dough out onto a heavily floured surface. Knead in about 4 more cups of flour until it is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticks. Turn into a large greased bowl and let rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  • Knead down and let rise again, about 30 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 6 long strands. Overlap 2 strands at a time into an upside-down "U" and braid. Place onto an ungreased baking sheet. Combine beaten egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; brush loaf with wash. Let rise for about 20 minutes more.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before eating.
