Cozonac or kozunuk, a traditional Romanian & Bulgarian festive sweet bread, which is usually prepare during Easter. It is actually quite similar to stollen, the German festive bread & panettone, the Italian festive bread, which is sweet and with load of dried fruits.

On this recipe, I am using bread flour but if you prefer cake like texture, you may replace bread flour with all purpose flour. The texture is actually quite similar to brioche but less egg added in.
