Obwarzanek krakowski

Obwarzanek krakowski is a braided ring-shaped bread from Kraków, Poland, boiled before baking and sprinkled with salt and sesame or poppy seeds. It has a white, sweetish, moist and chewy crumb beneath a crunchy golden brown crust, and is traditionally sold from street carts as a Polish street food. It is made from wheat flour, fat, yeast, sugar and salt, typically measures 12 to 17 centimeters across, and weighs 80 to 120 grams. It holds protected geographical indication status in Kraków and is closely related to, but distinct from, bagels, bubliks and pretzels.
