Choereg
(Chorek, Choerek, Choreg)
Choereg is a type of sweet bread from Armenia that is traditionally prepared for Easter. The buttery, egg-enriched dough is flavored with mahleb, a type of spice made from cherry pit seeds, which gives it a unique flavor and the scent of cherries and bitter almonds.
Once braided, the bread is either sprinkled with sesame seeds or glazed with egg wash.
