Pain à la grecque

The "pain à la grecque" is a delectable traditional pastry from Brussels, Belgium. Despite its name, it has no connection to Greece. The term "grecque" actually originates from the local dialect word "grecht" which means "ditch."

This delicious treat is crafted from a basic rectangle of milk bread, generously sprinkled with a blend of brown sugar, cinnamon, and granulated sugar. The outcome is a simple yet irresistibly delicious pastry that remains a cherished favorite in Brussels. If you ever visit the city, be sure to give it a try!
