The German word for coffee cake, Kuchen, is found often in this section of our book because many of the recipes are of German origin, contributed by the good cooks of Milwaukee.
Since the procedures for making those yeast-dough coffee cakes resemble those of bread-making, the General Rules for Making Bread, page 66, may prove helpful.
Kuchen doughs are more easily handled if chilled. When time permits this step, decrease flour by one-quarter to one-half cup. Let rise in warm room until doubled in bulk, then cut through with knife. Put dough in greased bowl large enough to allow for rising, grease top, and cover tightly. Chill for 24 hours. When ready to use, form into any desired shapes and add desired topping. Let rise slowly until double in bulk and bake.
