Kürtőskalács

Prepare the Dough

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.

Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs.

Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Shape the Dough

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you have a special chimney cake mold, grease it lightly. If not, you can use a rolling pin and baking sheet.

Punch down the dough and divide it into 8-10 equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a thin rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut the dough into strips, then wrap the strips around the greased mold or roll them into logs and place on a baking sheet.

Bake

Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle generously with the sugar-cinnamon mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Cool and Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Optionally, you can brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with additional sugar if desired.
