Kouign-Amann: The Butter, The Sugar, The Fold

In Breton, "kouign" means cake and "amann" means butter — and once you've pulled one apart, warm and caramelized, layers shattering with every bite, that name will make perfect sense. In this workshop, we'll laminate dough by hand, fold in generous layers of butter and sugar, and watch as the oven works its magic, turning humble ingredients into something truly spectacular.
