When is National Kouign Amann Day?

Every year, a round crusty cake made with a yeast-raised dough is celebrated on June 20th. Bakers make the cake by folding layers of butter and sugar inward, similar to a puff pastry or croissants in style but with fewer layers. They then slowly bake the resulting cake until the butter puffs up the dough, giving the layered appearance of it and the sugar caramelizes..

Amann is a mann who uses the Breton words for cake, kouign, and butter. Kouign amann is a popular and traditional pastry in Brittany... It appeared in 1860 when flour was scarce, but butter was abundant.

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