Do all Nola king cakes just go with plain white bread with cinnamon kind of dusted inside?
No one uses plain white bread with cinnamon dust. WTF does that even mean??? quote:
Just asking because having had several this year I notice a huge difference between NOLA and BR king cakes.
Huge difference is right. BR bakeries like to make theirs more like a cinnamon roll with a heavier dough.
quote:
NOLA ones have softer bread while BR ones have more flavorful/sweeter/seasoned bread.
I don't know how to even address this. For one, stop calling it bread.
quote:
Not putting one style ahead of the other, just taking notes.
There is no such thing a Baton Rouge style king cake. There's king cake and then there's the shite people frick up and call it a king cake. A king cake is supposed to be sort of lite and flaky/airy on the inside with a good layer of icing and topped with sugar or sprinkles.

When I say plain white bread this is what I refer to. Don't know what to call it other than bread, give me a term and I'll use it instead.

It's dough before it's cooked then become more of a pastry.

Soooooo, what am I going with? Pastry Bread? Would that make you happy in the content of this thread?
The point being that I have noticed a distinct difference in what type of Pastry Bread is used in the NOLA big dawgs and the BR ones.

It's not a bread. Do you call a cinnamon roll bread?

Because most BR bakeries do something closer to a cinnamon roll dough. It's a lot more dense and heavy. The good NOLA ones are lite and airy to some extent.

I agree with the notion that NO king cakes have more cake and less filling than BR king cakes. I prefer more filling and less cake.

I wouldn't compare some of the Pastry Bread that I have had in NOLA area kingcakes to cinnamon rolls so what does that have to do with it? It looks like a soft bread with sugar on top....like the picture I posted above.
Does that picture look like a cinnamon roll to you?

Call it what you want man. You just sound like an idiot when you say NOLA king cakes are more like white bread dusted with cinnamon. eta: And the pic you added is more like a BR king cake. The dough is very, very dense. That's not how a king cake should be.

Since it is cooked I can't tell what the dough looked like.
jk If it taste better than the original why is it wrong?

Nah man, you can tell how dense it is from your pic.

Well that's just, like, your opinion man. There are about 10 king cakes down there that are better than anything Baton Rouge has to offer.
