Sweet Czech Braided Bread
<p>Vánočka is often called “Houska” in the USA. The name “vánočka” comes from “Vánoce”, which means Christmas in Czech. It is a scrumptious sweet bread with raisins and almonds, which is very common to serve on Christmas morning in the Czech Republic (December 24th). It can be served plain, with butter, or with butter and preserves/jam. Because it is very delicious, people buy it in the Czech Republic all year long. </p> 2022-11-01 18:00:00 -050012/10/223:00 p.m.National Czech & Slovak Museum & LibraryCedar Rapids -
