What Kulac is

Sweet celebration bread enriched with butter and dried fruit.

Kulac is listed as a bakery item in the Albania guide, where the index tags it vegetarian. Treat those labels as a menu translation rather than the full picture. Portion size, garnish and cooking method change from one counter to the next, and so does the price.
