In German a kugel is an orb, like a marble, and hopf was translated to me as a “hoop”.

I found this on line -

The origin is equally in dispute. In English we call the baking pan that forms this specialty a Turk’s-head mold, which is a clue. The kugelhopf is as popular in Germany and Austria as it is in Alsace, and one story says it originated in Vienna when the Hapsburg forces defeated the Turks at the city’s gates. In celebration, Viennese bakers supposedly made a cake in the shape of the sultan’s turban.

I think your loaf looks great.

I wish I would have thought of this… way more practical than a bundt!

I think it is way prettier than a bundt pan. Of course those “Special K” pans are beautiful. However, unless you are a bread fiend and Know that you like Kugelhopf, might be a good testing pan. Yes? Anyway, your photos are lovely.

Makes the toasting (which I thought was the best part!) easier. It looks fantastic, and I love the addition of dried cherries!
