The process of making a kouign-amann from start to finish is truly a labour of love. Originating from the northwest Brittany region of France, this French pastry gets its name from the words for cake and butter in the Breton language.

Once it’s baked, the result is a crunchy, flaky, buttery, sugary and caramelized multilayered pastry.
