Orange Blossom Flower Water Food

A wonderful sticky, sugar topped sweet bread that is flavoured with orange blossom water. Fouace is a very old traditional bread, the word originally referred to the oven in which bread has been cooked since ancient times, from the Latin word "focus" or hearth. This orange blossom scented bread is traditionally shaped in to a wreath or an oval and is from the Albi region in the South of France near Toulouse. As the bread bakes slowly, it spreads out as it rises, giving a very distinctive shape. It is served very hot and, depending on the version, may be topped with white beans, rillettes, salted butter or goat's cheese; however, I prefer this recipe served hot, spread with butter and a dollop of apricot conserve.

Serve this classic Moroccan coffee with or without milk for an elegant ending to a Moroccan meal, or to add a special, aromatic touch to coffee hour. Use vanilla sugar as a sweetener to add another layer of flavor. Moroccans like their coffee quite strong. Use less coffee if you prefer a lighter brew. The recipe can be used in a moka, electric perk, French coffee press, or automatic drip coffee maker. Recipe from about.com **Try looking in Asian stores for orange flower water
