Kouglehof or "King's Crown"

This is the traditional sweet bread of Alsace for the Christmas season but also for New Years. For more info, please refer to my blog entry entitled "My 21st Birthday and New Years in Strasbour" where I give more info behind its taste and texture. In short, however, it's not very sweet and the raisens and almonds are more of a garnish rather than major ingredient. The texture is like petichoux and/or a good brioche and I would describe its desnity as medium. I bought this one from a local boulengerie (bakery) for 4 euros and it lasted me for four-five days as my breakfast!
