National Kouign Amann Day

On June 20th, each year, National Kouign Amann Day is celebrated, as part of a round crusty cake made with a yeast-raised dough. Bakers fold layers of butter and sugar inward, similar to a puff pastry or croissants in style but with fewer layers. They then bake the resulting cake until the butter puffs up the dough, giving the layered appearance of it and the sugar caramelizes.

Amann's name derives from the Breton words for cake, kouign, and butter, amann. Kouign amann is a popular and traditional pastry in Brittany.. It appeared in 1860, when flour was scarce, but butter was plentiful.

You'll love kouign amann because you like croissants and you like glazed donuts. The croissant's flaky, buttery texture meets the sweet sugary topping of a donut. It is not a cronut, but it isn't a cronut. It's a kouign amann, and it has been around for a long time, too.. Plus, it's always June 20th.
