Kalács (pronounced [ˈkɒlaːtʃ]) is a Hungarian sweet bread, usually baked in a braided form, and traditionally considered an Easter food. The word comes from the Slavic languages and refers to the original rounded form of the bread.[1] Similar types of bread also exist in other Central European and Eastern European countries, such as Kalach in Ukraine and Russia.
Preparation[edit]
Until the end of the 19th century, the preparation of kalács was similar to that of everyday bread; the difference was in the shape, and in the better/quality flour used for the kalács. Nowadays kalács is prepared from a richer dough, enriched with milk and eggs as well.[2] Kalács is baked in an oven or brick oven, sometimes directly on the stones of the brick oven, or on a baking sheet.
