Kouign-amann (pronounced [ˌkwiɲ aˈmãn]; pl.kouignoù-amann) is a sweet Bretoncake, made with laminated dough. It is a round multi-layered cake, originally made with bread dough (nowadays sometimes viennoiserie dough), containing layers of butter and incorporated sugar, similar in fashion to puff pastry, albeit with fewer layers. The cake is slowly baked until the sugar caramelizes and the recipe's butter (in fact the steam of the 20 percent water in the butter) expands the dough, resulting in its layered structure. A smaller version, “kouignette”, is similar to a muffin-shaped, caramelized croissant.

What a lovely pastry!! Feels kinda… familiar for a name. Eh, maybe I’m just overthinking it.
