Sushki

sushka; Russian: су́шки, IPA: [ˈsuʂkʲɪ], plural; Russian: су́шка, IPA: [ˈsuʂkɐ], singular) are traditional Eastern European small, crunchy, mildly sweet bread rings eaten for dessert, usually with tea or coffee.

This is then cut and rolled into thin strips of about half a centimetre thickness which are formed into rings, briefly cooked in boiling sugar water, then baked in an oven.

Nowadays, industrially produced pre-packaged sushki are sold in food shops all over the countries of the former Soviet Union.

Sushki belong to a class of Eastern European ring-shaped bread products which are briefly boiled before baking.

Ukrainian bubliki and Polish obwarzanki krakowski are even larger and softer, but not as soft as Jewish bagels.
