Kouign Amann
Kouign Amann (butter cake) is a Breton pastry, made of bread dough layered with butter and sugar. The cake is slowly baked until the butter puffs up the dough, and the sugar caramelizes on the top. The resulting pastry is deeply sweet and decadent, with a soft inside and crunchy caramelized top. Kouign Amann is quite difficult to bake at home, and most French people leave it to the pros at boulangeries or confiseries.
