This Armenian Easter Bread is The Perfect Festive Treat | Choreg

Another great addition to the Breads of Easter playlist. This Armenian choreg will make the Easter Bunny come to your house for sure! It may look like other festive breads because making a braided loaf for festivities is traditional in many cultures. But don’t let its simple looks deceive you.

What sets this choreg apart is its flavour. The main spice that distinguishes this bread from others is mahlab. It is made from ground cherry pits. The taste is hard to describe as it is so unique. It can taste kind of almondy and sweet. The only other time I used this spice was when I made a Greek Christmas bread called christopsomo.

Other ingredients which I added were nigella aka onion seeds which also have a very distinct flavour. Also, ground fennel seed to tie it all together. I feel that the fennel seed really brings the mahlab and nigella together and rounds off the flavour of this bread.

There are sweet and savoury versions of this bread. This one is kind of in between. Although it has a fair amount of sugar it is not overly sweet and the spices while being super aromatic and sweet smelling are also on the savoury side. To make this a true sweet loaf you could skip the nigella seeds and perhaps increase the sugar by ¼.

Choreg can be shaped into various shapes. Swirls, snails, knots. It is usually made into many smaller rolls instead of being one large loaf. You can experiment and see what you like best. Make one batch and shape it into many different shapes.
