Top 3 Aurhalpin Sweet Breads

Praluline is a delightful French culinary creation consisting of a brioche that is infused with the sweet flavor of pink, rose sugar-coated pralines. The pastry is typically characterized by an incredibly soft, rich, and buttery texture, while the crushed pralines - a combination of Valencia almonds and Piedmont hazelnuts enrobed in rose sugar - add a distinct nuttiness, sweetness, and a nice crunchiness to the specialty. Created in 1955 by Auguste Pralus, a renowned French pastry chef and the owner of a small bakery in the town of Roanne, this sweet bread has remained a specialty of Pralus patisseries, and is regularly featured in the shops’ window displays due to its appealing and appetizing visual appearance. Praluline has been prepared in the same way for decades, although the exact recipe for the pastry is still a well-kept secret of the Pralus family. This unique specialty can be savored in different sizes at one of the Pralus patisseries throughout France, and it is said to taste the best on the day that it's been baked.Expand
