Kouign-amann
France · Europe
- Short description
- This pastry is rich, flaky, and sticky-crisp from caramelized sugar and butter.
- Ingredients
- Flour, butter, sugar, yeast, water, and salt.
- Cultural note
- It is associated with bakery trays, where the glossy browned top hints at the heavy butter-and-sugar layers inside.
- Common misconception
- It is not simply a croissant; sugar is layered into the dough so the pastry caramelizes as it bakes.
