Kouign Amann

Labels: ,


I was binge-watching The Great British Baking Show on Netflix. I love the show (except for the finale). The hosts are funny and entertaining and the baketestants sometimes are too.

One of the "technical" bakes was Kouign amann. None of the bakers knew or even heard of the Breton bread, much less how to pronounce it. I was surprised because I baked this delicious crunchy with caramelized sugar bread almost 8 years ago when I read about it on David Lebovitz's blog. I've never baked it into small muffin size though and don't remember it being flaky or with visible layers like croissants.

The recipe is Paul Hollywood's, one of the two judges on the show. BTW, most of the recipes are posted on PBS website. I like these too but I remember the Kouign amann made with David's recipe tasted better probably because it has more sugar than Paul's.

I love breads, specially sweet and buttery breads, who doesn't? When I read this French sweet yeast bread with a strange name from David Lebovitz' blog I just have to make it. If you follow David's recipe you will be rewarded with this oh so very delicious, rich cake/bread. I assure you, after one bite you will want to make a second batch.:D
