Kouign-Amann

Kouign-Amann is a traditional Breton pastry from France, characterized by its rich, buttery flavor and flaky texture. The name translates to “cake butter” in Breton. It is made from a laminated dough similar to that used in croissants, which is layered with sugar and butter. During baking, the sugar caramelizes, creating a crispy, sweet crust. The inside remains soft and moist, with a delightful buttery taste. Kouign-Amann is known for its sweet flavor and can be enjoyed as a dessert or a sweet snack. It has gained popularity beyond Brittany and is often featured in bakeries around the world.
