Tsoureki () also known as bsatir, čʿorek, katʿnahuncʿ (), çyrek (Albanian), kozunak (), cozonac (Romanian), paskalya çöreği (Turkish), or šurēk (), is a sweet holiday bread made with flour, milk, butter, eggs, and sugar. It is commonly seasoned with lemon and orange zest, mastic resin, or mahleb.
Lampropsomo, a variation of tsoureki commonly called "Greek Easter bread", is made by Greek communities during Easter, not only in Greece, but also in other countries with Greek communities. It is also called Armenian Easter bread and is eaten during Easter in Armenia and the Armenian diaspora.
