PEACH KUCHEN - GERMAN PEACH CAKE (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• 1. Put Yeast Dough Ingredients into the Bread Machine pan following your Bread Machine's Directions.
• 2. Use the "dough" setting and start (usually takes about 1 1/2 hours)
• 3. Grease a 15 X 11 inch pan for a thinner dough. Or grease a 13 X 9 inch cake pan. I like the thinner dough. If you use the smaller pan, you might need less peaches.
• 4. Fresh Peaches: If using Fresh Peaches, give yourself about 1 hour to peel and slice the peaches.
• 5. Canned Peaches: You can do this 15-20 minutes before dough is ready. Drain the peaches well.
• 6. Frozen Peaches: Take Peaches out of freezer about 1 hour before using.
• 7. Optional Streusel Topping: Make this before dough is ready from machine. Make streusel topping by mixing flour, sugar, and cold butter together to get a crumbly mix. Crumble over fruit before baking.
• 8. Once dough cycle is finished, put dough onto a floured board and roll into a rectangle about the size of your pan. Carefully pick up dough by folding it in third and place in pan. Use your fingers to pat the dough in place.
• 9. Pierce dough all over with a fork.
• 10. Arrange fruit on dough in rows.
• 11. Let rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes.
• 12. If using Cinnamon Sugar, sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar over peaches. -OR- If using alternate Streusel Topping, crumble streusel topping over fruit before baking.
• 13. Preheat oven to 400 F.
• 14. Bake 25 - 30 minutes or until yeast pastry is puffed up and golden between fruit.
• 15. Cool slightly in pan and then cut into squares.
• 16. Serves about 8 - 10 portions.
