Suikerbrood

Suikerbrood ("Sugar bread"; West Frisian: sûkerbôlle or sûkerbôle^[1], French: craquelin) is a yeast-based bread not unlike a brioche. It contains a significant amount of sugar, traditionally added as nib sugar, though sometimes sugar cubes are used.^[2] While eaten throughout the Netherlands and Belgium,^[3] it is especially associated with Friesland.^[4] Suikerbrood is usually flavored with cinnamon^[5] and sometimes with ginger.^[1] A traditional use of suikerbrood is after a baby's birth.^[6]
