gamokoúloura

Wedding (or 'embroidered' bread) is ring-shaped, reminiscent of the wedding garlands placed over the heads of the bride and groom at Orthodox weddings. In Crete, where Gamokoúloura are especially popular, they are usually made by the mother of the bride, and handed out to guests

The decorations (ξόμπλια, ksómplia) are usually flowers, leaves, birds, or even lizards and maps of Crete; souvenir versions are sold in the markets at Heráklion and Chania that are shiny and lacquered with egg whites and inedible, but they last practically forever.

It's also known as a Ξομπλιαστό Κουλούρι (xobliastó kouloúri). On Cyprus they may be called Πλουμιστό Ψωμί (ploumistó psomí).
