It should work. I remember a thread where someone made cinnamon rolls with it & if it worked good for that I would think it should work for a King cake. I am by no means a bread expert though! What are you gonna hide in it?
That was what I was thinking...cinn rolls..why not King Cake.....a baby of course!
Have a few of the "babies" left over from a party. Thank you B!

Hey! I posted pics of cin rolls with that recipe!
I've actually made that bread recipe a couple of times since then, I subbed butter in place of the oil once, and I used extra virgin olive oil the third time. But the flavor difference is slight, any version of this recipe would work.
Here are my opinions tho:
I liked oil better for the plain loaf bread, especially olive oil.
I think the butter would be best for desserts.
I took pics of what I did with the olive oil recipe, but I didn't want to share them because... well... it isn't worthy of being posted IMO. Since the hubs doesn't like veggies, the pizza I made looks really boring. But here's a pic as proof that I've made this recipe a few times. ;p

What !!! No onions or peppers or tomatoes or garlic ?? .... I can totally understand no avocados or no artichokes.... the devil makes those last two....I took pics of what I did with the olive oil recipe, but I didn't want to share them because... well... it isn't worthy of being posted IMO.

hehe, um... the onion, garlic, and pepper are in powder form in the tomato sauce! :p
But yeah, if I use veggies for flavor, I have to use powder, or cut them real big so he can easily pick them out.

A pizza with avocados, artichokes, goat cheese, and alfalfa sprouts is California Fusion Cuisine...........total garbage IMHOWhat !!! No onions or peppers or tomatoes or garlic ?? ....

You guys have me dreaming up stuff with this recipe! The cinnamon rolls made me want to make them.....that is what started my pea brain thinking about King Cake. I prefer the cinnamon version to the cream cheese one.
The cinnamon rolls are mighty good, so I can't see any reason why it wouldn't make an awesome King Cake.
A man I can relate to leave the rabbit food to the rabbits, Meat & cheese please!!

I had never heard of a "king cake". Googled it and it looks very interesting (and lots of stuffing options)

King Cake is great! Being Polish, I have always had/made Babka, typically Cheese, Cinnamon and Almond Paste filled for Easter Breakfast. Rollers Bread recipe will work fine but I would sub Butter in for the Oil and 6 Egg Yolks would add some richness and the yellow color that is traditional in these types of breads. Do not use Whole eggs as the Albumin will make the bread Tough and cause premature Staling...JJ
I think it will do just fine..Living in Louisiana I have never eaten a King Cake..some reason I just can`t eat anything with those colors on it..Kinda like I can`t drink anything that is Blue...

@KathrynN, Now I wanna make a King Cake too! And if we use JJs advice about adding egg yolks... guess what we can do with the whites? Practice making divinity!!
@Linguica, I made asian dumplings for the first time the other day. I thought maybe you'd enjoy that information. :) Here's proof:
ground pork, sesame oil, bok choy, napa cabbage, ginger, carrots, green onion, shiitake mushrooms... needed something like cilantro or maybe lemon grass.
@mdboatbum, beautiful breads!
@jkc64, do you not eat fruit too?
@dward51, I tried a chocolate filled once, it was called a Zulu King Cake. :)
@JJ, You are so smart, I'm adding you to my follow list.
@Roller, Go to Hawaii, spend all your money on Hula Women, and Blue Curacao Pina Colodas! Maybe that'll cure ya!

Ok, I'm gonna do it!
My SIL and fam are coming in town this weekend. I love it when they visit because that means I can practice making deserts!
Sometimes they are great, and sometimes not so great. ;p
My SILs husband is from the pacific northwest, he visited NOLA for the first time last year, with us, on a little vacay.
Since Mardi Gras is coming up, feb 9th this year, I wanna make this for them.
So I've been looking over the original recipe and letting the suggestions of yolks and butter roll around in my head, and I thought... what would happen if I used warm milk instead of water!?!

One more question... I was thinking maybe I should use cake flour, or pastry flour, and not add the vital wheat gluten Mdboatbum taught me turns all purpose to bread flour.
Look, I'm learning stuff!
p.s.- my mom taught me to use all-purpose flour, and when a recipe calls for self rising, just add 1.5tsp baking powder and 0.5tsp salt. And Baking powder = 3 parts baking soda & 1 part tartar.
This advice has never failed me yet, although I've never made my own baking powder.

I couldn't find the purple and yellow sugar crystals around here. Didn't want to make any at home....have the Green colored one. Sweet talked one of the Baker ladies in Publix to let me "buy" some and she handed me 2 bags and said...here! I spill more than that in a days time. I have the decorative parts and a baby to put into it too!
Thanks for the recipe additions Chef Jimmy!
