Kouglehof (King's Crown)

This is the kouglehof I bought for my breakfasts (it lasted me a week) and this is pretty much a sweet bread that contains whole almonds and raisans. The majority of raisans and almonds are found at the top as decoration. It's not very sweet, it tastes like bread, but does not have the consistency of a baguette or other classic French breads. I would compare the texture to a very savory cinamon bun (American style) without the frosting either, however there is no cinamon. The raisens and almonds can be found sporadically however they don't seem to be the main focus, there are merely a seasoning, garnish. However, I did enjoy it and I do plan on making one myself in the future. I paid 4 euros for one this size, however you can get them smaller for 2 euros and you might be asked if you want powdered sugar on top of yours or not.
