Kozinjak or milibrod is a sweet yeasted bread with soft, moist, and thread-like texture, usually flavored with lemon zest or orange zest, and filled with dried fruits, typically raisins soaked in rum or orange juice. The dough is braided, brushed with a yolk-milk mixture on top, and then baked in a well-oiled baking tray or high bread pan in the oven.

Once baked, kozinjak is generously sprinkled with sugar to form a sugar crust, or dusted with powdered sugar before serving. Poppy seeds and different types of fruit jams are also used as common kozinjak fillings. This sweet bread is usually prepared for holidays, especially for Easter and Christmas, and it is also consumed in neighboring Bulgaria, where it is known as kozunak.

Some make this sweet treat more frequently and consume it as a light dessert or with a glass of milk for breakfast.
