Ingredients

• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 0.25 cups warm water (around 110°F)
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 1 whole large egg
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 4 whole fresh peaches, sliced
• 1 cups sour cream
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for topping)
• 1 whole large egg yolk

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, melted butter, warm milk, and egg. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round springform pan or a similar baking dish.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and press it evenly into the prepared pan, pushing slightly up the sides to form a crust.

Step 8

Arrange the sliced peaches in a circular pattern over the dough.

Step 9

In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, granulated sugar (for topping), and egg yolk. Pour this mixture evenly over the peaches.

Step 10

Bake the kuchen in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the crust is golden brown.

Step 11

Allow the kuchen to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
