About this dish
Cozonac or Kozunak is both a sweet bread and a sweet yeast dough that can be used to make different traditional holiday breads and cakes. Often mixed with raisins or nuts, it can be baked as a loaf or rolled out with fillings like poppy seed or walnuts. It is common throughout Southeastern Europe in countries such as Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Moldova, North Macedonia, and Serbia. Rich in eggs, milk and butter, it is usually prepared for Easter in Bulgaria, Serbia, North Macedonia, and in Romania and Moldova it is traditionally baked during Holy Week, typically on Holy Thursday or Holy Saturday morning. A simplified vegan version without eggs or milk—named Cozonac de post—is also prepared during Lent.
