Savory Kugelhopf

• 2 cups brown rice flour
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 2 tbl. potato starch
• 1 cube fresh yeast or envelope of active dry yeast
• 2 whole eggs, beaten gently
• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1/2 cup buttermilk, lukewarm
• pinch of Spanish saffron threads
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• @125 gr.(@1/4 c) of German speck, minced (real Black Forest ham or Italian smoked meat can substitute)
• @125 gr. (@1/4 cup) grated manchego cheese (or gruyere)
• 1 teaspoon Meyer lemon zest (or regular lemon)
• butter for pans

1. Add the rice flour, brown sugar, and potato starch to a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center. Add the yeast and eggs to the well. Mix quickly and then let rest for 10 minutes.
2. Add the saffron and salt to the lukewarm buttermilk (not warmer than 108 degrees). Beat in the softened butter. Add the minced speck, grated cheese,and zest to the milk mixture and then to the flour. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon for 10 minutes or 5 with a dough hook. Cover and let rise for an hour.
3. Generously butter the kugelhopf pans. Evenly divide and spoon the dough into the two pans. Allow these to rise for an hour.
4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees convection with fan or 375 regular. Bake the dual (@2.5 cup) loaves for about 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack for cooling. Best to eat same day: Any leftovers toast up beautifully later.
