Belgian Style Yeast Waffles From Kaf Recipe

Experience the magic of Belgian waffles elevated! This recipe, inspired by King Arthur Flour, creates incredibly crisp yet creamy waffles with a depth of flavor you won't believe. The overnight rise in the fridge develops a rich, yeasty aroma (but don't worry, if you prefer a less intense yeast flavor, we've got a solution!). These waffles stay wonderfully textured even as they cool, making them perfect for brunch, dessert, or any time you crave a truly exceptional waffle.

How to Make Belgian Style Yeast Waffles From Kaf

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Whisk in 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup milk.
  6. For a richer, yeasty flavor, cover the batter and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  7. For a milder flavor, add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder to the batter and let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  8. Heat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
  9. Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or cooking spray.
  10. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron.
  11. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  12. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings! Enjoy!
