A bublik is a ring-shaped bread roll that is popular in Eastern European countries. It's made from wheat dough that is first boiled, then baked, giving it a chewy texture and a slightly sweet, subtly toasted flavor. Often topped with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or salt, bubliki are similar to bagels, but generally larger and drier. They are enjoyed plain, with butter or cream cheese, or even used as a base for sandwiches.
