Take a twisted trip to Hungary with this recipe for Kürtős Kalács, an eye-catching chimney cake with a crispy golden exterior and tender interior. Follow along as we shape sweet yeasted dough around a tube, then bake until perfectly crisp. Finish with a blanket of sugar, cinnamon, and nuts for a dessert that will transport you. These iconic Hungarian treats are carved from coil-shaped dough that develops irresistible layers as it bakes. Enjoy learning the secrets behind this street food staple that's beloved in Budapest and beyond.

In the middle, make a hole and add the yeast mix
Mix a little, then add the whisked eggs plus the two yolks, the remaining milk, sugar, vanilla and salt
Gradually add the butter, continuing to mix
The dough needs not to be sticky, and it needs to be elastic

Swirl around heatproof tubes, covered in aluminum foil and butter
Brush the dough with water
Run each individually, through sugar, nuts , coconut
Place them in an oven tray and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes
Take them from the tubes after they have cooled down

Tips
You can use any topping you like. You can use cinnamon for one, sugar for another, roasted nuts for another, or you can use all of the three toppings on one. It really depends on your taste.
For my tubes, I made them myself using Pringles tubes covered in aluminum foil, brushed with butter.
Bon Appétit!
