About Kouign-amann
Kouign-Amann is a rich, buttery pastry originating from Brittany, France. Its name translates to "butter cake" in Breton. Made from a simple dough of flour, water, and yeast, it is folded with generous layers of butter and sugar, creating a laminated texture similar to a croissant. As it bakes, the sugar caramelizes, forming a golden, crispy crust with a tender, flaky interior. While Kouign-Amann is beloved for its indulgent flavor, its high fat and sugar content make it a calorie-dense choice. It lacks significant amounts of fiber, protein, and essential nutrients, making it more of a treat than a balanced snack. Enjoyed occasionally, Kouign-Amann offers a unique cultural and culinary experience, showcasing the art of traditional French pastry-making.
