🇷🇴 Romania recipe
Cozonac
Cozonac is Romania's most treasured festive bread, a tall, richly enriched sweet loaf swirled with an intoxicating filling of ground walnuts, cocoa, and rum. The dough is lovingly kneaded by hand until silky smooth, then left to rise in a warm spot before being rolled around the fragrant filling and baked to a deep golden brown. The aroma of cozonac baking in the oven is the unmistakable herald of Easter and Christmas in every Romanian home.
