To make homemade peach kuchen you will need:

Peach Kuchen Recipe

3 cups of all-purpose flour

2 1/4 tsp of yeast

3/4 cup milk

1/3 cup of sugar

6 Tablespoons of butter

2 eggs

Topping

1 egg beaten

1 cup of sugar

3 tablespoons of cream

1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

2 cups of thinly sliced peaches

Directions

In a saucepan put the butter, milk, salt, and sugar and let warm until the butter is almost melted and just warm about 115 degrees F.
Stir this constantly to avoid the milk scalding.
In the bowl to your stand mixer add 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose unbleached flour and one package or 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast.
Begin to add the milk, salt, and sugar to the flour mixture mixing on low to combine them well.
Add 2 eggs to the batter and then mix on low for thirty seconds.
Turn it off your mixer and with a spatula scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl making sure that all of the dry ingredients are well incorporated in your batter.
Turn your mixer up on high and beat for three or four minutes and then turn the mixer off.
In an 8×13 casserole dish add oil to the sides and the bottom to well coat it and prevent your kutchen from sticking during the baking process.
Scoop the batter into the bottom of the pan using the rubber spatula or a bowl scraper to get all of the batter off of the bowl.
Push some of the batter up on the sides to form a sort of little well or indention in the center of your batter.
Let sit covered with plastic wrap or a tea towel in a warm draft-free spot for forty-five minutes.

For the peach kuchen topping

Mix an egg that has been beaten and three tablespoons of cream.
To this stir in 1 cup of sugar ( we use raw sugar)
On the top of the batter lay out the peach slices in long rows and continue until the batter is covered well in the indented area.
Spoon the sugar and cream mixture into the well over the top of the sliced peaches.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the casserole dish on a cookie sheet to make sure that no drips end up in the bottom of your oven and place them in the oven on the center rack

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes

Serve still warm.
