Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tsp Active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1/4 cup Sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup Poppy seeds
- 1 tsp Salt
Steps
- Make a firm dough and knead 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide into 8 pieces; roll each into a rope and twist into a ring, sealing well.
- Proof 20 minutes until slightly puffy.
- Poach the rings in simmering water 1 minute per side — the boil sets the chewy crust.
- Shower with sesame or poppy seeds while wet so they stick.
- Bake at 425 degrees 15 minutes until deeply golden; the street food of Kraków.
