      how do you make the dough without the dough hook? can you make it by kneading it for half an hour? lol

    I'm from New Orleans and king cake is one of my favorite things because they aren't available year-round. There are so many types of fillings, icings, and doughs that people use. Cream cheese is my favorite filling. And yes, most king cakes come with a small plastic baby inside, usually hidden at the bottom so you don't eat it. Great recipe!

      I'm from originally from New Orleans. I've heard about a Vietnamese bakery that makes a very popular king cake...can't remember the name. Is it really that good? I've heard rave reviews.

      @@purplesidewalkchalk63 Oh yes! Dong Phuong! They are really good. Their king cakes actually dont have a hole in the middle. The plastic baby comes on top for the customer to put inside themselves.

      Yes! DP’s is amazing! Also from Nola but living abroad right now and having major Mardi Gras withdrawal. Also: cream cheese is def the best filling. J always feel cheated if I don’t get me some c/c filling! So I need to figure out how to make it with that.

    Thank you for this recipe! I used to live in Mobile, & yesterday being Joe Cain day, I was REALLY missing a King Cake from the local supermarket chain bakery, Rouse's. But, it costs $60 dollars for them to ship one to you! So, it took me four hours, but I made this, instead, & it turned out PERFECTLY - EXACTLY right! It even SMELLS the same! And, it wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it was going to be. Just time consuming with all of the waiting for the dough to rise. But, good things come to those who wait!

I was making them for her breakfast almost every week then 🥰 - 🙏🏻 thank you for all you do 😘

    Thank you for making the King Cake. Paczki is very popular in Michigan. They have a Polish suburb of Hamtramck, pronounced ham-tram-ick. My mother was Polish so I grew up enjoying all the wonderful foods. Dad was 50% Italian.

    I used to work for a French company. At new year we had a king cake, and I got to be king for a day. The cake we had was made of puff pastry with frangipane filling, and I didn't know until now that there's also a bread version.

  • @TheThomasTribe
    @TheThomasTribe Před 2 lety +13

    I am from New Orleans and we do it a tad differently as far as tradition. There is a small plastic baby put into the cake (through the bottom) and whoever gets the baby in their piece gets the next king cake. But it is so amazing!! The filled ones are even better! Three of my favorites are cream cheese filled, Bavarian cream, and praline 🤤🤤🤤. This makes me miss home 🥰

    I made this today for Fat Tuesday and it turned out perfect. I chose this recipe, amongst all the many recipes, as it didn't require yolks only, sour cream, or proving the yeast. It was soft , and smelled fantastic while baking. I saw in another recipe where a lady cut the rolled cinnamon dough in half AFTER rolling up to a tube , then twisted the roll together, and I did this , it was truly beautiful. I found the purple sugar at the local Mennonite store. Thank you , and HAPPY MARDI GRAS! 💜💜💚💚💛💛

    Definitely going to try this. I made this cake before but it was a different recipe from a different book and it came out to be a flop. The dough was separated by three separate pieces and then all of them put together so I'm going to definitely try this and see what happens. Thanks so much John I love your recipes I hope I'm able to get your book later. Keep on cooking

The work one is being eyed but remains untouched 🤣. It smelled so good we couldn't resist a taste. Thank you for this recipe. I am going to enjoy playing around with the different variations. The dough is beautiful and the texture devine.

    • @rainbowdillard8581

      Thank you! Your comment persuaded me to try this recipe out of the many I looked at this year. This was the 12th King Cake I've ever made, and I almost always enjoy the fun of the cake, but don't like eating it because it's usually ridiculously dry and hard. This recipe did not have that problem at all! It was moist, and a co-worker said it instantly reminded her of her favorite cinnamon rolls.
