Answer:

Greece

Step-by-step explanation:

Tsoureki (tsuréki) is just one of several traditional Greek party breads, but probably the best known.

The name tsouréki comes from the Turkish word corek which refers to any type of bread made with dough in which yeast goes.

This bread has a special symbolism, as it represents the resurrection of Christ, where the flour comes to life and becomes bread.

Early on Thursday, the eve of the Passion (called the Great Farm), throughout Greece, women begin to prepare the dough with aromatic spices and decorate it with dough tapes, dried fruits, red eggs, sesame, almonds and whatever comes to the imagination.
