About this dish

A Zeeuwse bolus is a sweet bread of Jewish origin from the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is made by baking a tender white yeast dough rolled in dark brown sugar (basterdsuiker) and cinnamon in a spiral shape. The sugar melts during baking to form a sticky, caramel-like coating. The shape of a bolus differs between bakers. In some parts of the region, the dough also includes lemon zest, though this is rarer. They are often eaten with coffee, and the flatter underside is frequently covered with butter.
