Grandma Maybee's Koo Koo Bread image

When we lived up in Port Angeles, WA it seemed like everybody was related and in one big extended family, they could hardly wait for Christmas and Koo Koo Bread each year. This year, Jacki shared her recipe with me and gave me permission to post it here. She says it is a 100+-year-old recipe started by her great-grandmother. It...

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pkg rapid-rise yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c warm water
2 c buttermilk
1 c instant mashed potatoes flakes
2 tsp salt
4 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 c white sugar
3 large eggs, well beaten
2 Tbsp baking powder
6-8 c all-purpose flour
POUR OVER THE BREAD BEFORE BAKING
2 pt heavy whipping cream
2 c sugar
1 c cinnamon sugar
CINNAMON SUGAR
1 c sugar
1-2 Tbsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Dissolve two yeast packets in 1/2 cup of warm water and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes or so.
  • 2. Heat together on the stove, buttermilk, potato buds, salt, oil, and sugar until well blended and just barely boiling. Cool mixture down until you can comfortably stick a pinky in and hold it there.
  • 3. Add buttermilk mixture to 3 beaten eggs. Add the yeast and 2 tablespoons of baking powder. Mix well.
  • 4. Begin adding flour, a little at a time, until you reach kneading consistency.
  • 5. If you don't have a mixer that kneads, then you knead for around 10 min. for the right bread dough texture. The more kneading, the better, words from my Grandma (per Jacki). The dough will eventually be slightly sticky but not so sticky you can't work with it.
  • 6. After kneading, divide into 2 and roll each half to fit in a 9x13 baking dish.
  • 7. Place each half into the 2 greased cake pans, 9 by 13. Cover and put in a warm place. Let rise for about 2 hours or until it is doubled in size.
  • 8. Once dough is done rising, take your index finger and poke holes throughout, covering the top completely with the holes.
  • 9. Mix 1 pint (2 cups) of whipping cream and 1 cup sugar PER PAN.
  • 10. Pour the cream mixture over the holes, covering the top completely with the cream. Do this for both pans.
  • 11. Mix 1 cup of sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of cinnamon. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the cinnamon sugar mixture over each pan.
  • 12. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • 13. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This bread is a bit dense, but it's still very tasty. I like to toast it and then spread it with butter.
