This delicacy is not just a treat but a symbol of celebration, often shared among family and friends during the joyous holiday. Originating from the Berber traditions, this sweet bread is typically shaped into delightful round loaves and adorned with a charming cross cut on top, which allows for a perfect rise in the oven. With a hint of orange blossom water adding a floral whisper and pearl sugar sprinkling a touch of crunch, each bite of Mouna is like a celebration in itself.
