Zopf (German pronunciation: [tsɔpf] ⓘ), Butterzopf ([ˈbʊtɐˌtsɔpf]) or Züpfe ([ˈtsʏpfə]) (tresse [tʁɛs] ⓘ in French and treccia [ˈtrettʃa] in Italian) is a type of Swiss, Austrian, and German bread made from white flour, milk, eggs, butter and yeast.[1] The zopf is typically brushed with egg yolk, egg wash, or milk before baking, lending it its golden crust. It is baked in the form of a plait and traditionally eaten on Sunday mornings. The German and French names are derived from the shape of the bread, meaning "braid" or "pigtail".
Unlike other braid-shaped breads such as challah or Hefekranz, Swiss Zopf is unsweetened.
