Traditional Easter bun for the whole family!

The name "tsoureki" comes from the Turkish word "corek" and means any bread made with dough containing yeast. There are different types of corek, both savory and sweet, as well as in different sizes and shapes depending on the region in which they are made. Armenians, as well as the people of Azerbaijan, make a round flat bread sprinkled with sesame seeds, which they call "churek". The name "tsoureki" was probably adopted by the Greeks during the Turkish occupation, where they began to make their own version of tsoureki as a sweet bread made with milk, butter and eggs.
