Easter Bread with Quince Jam

This challah-like braided sweet bread is a staple of Bulgarian cuisine, especially on Easter, but it is made all year round. I remember being in middle school and having my grandma butter slices of kozunak up, sprinkle sugar on them and broil them (for a brule-like effect) as an afternoon snack. To be honest, I was never a fan until as an adult I got to stuff the thing with whatever I liked – chocolate, nuts, tart cherries etc. The standard is rose hip marmalade, which sounds exotic in the US, but was very common back home.

My version here has quince jam, tart cherries and hazelnuts inside.

So, Happy Easter to whoever celebrates! This year the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Easters coincide, so woohoo, I guess 😉
