Bublik (also booblik or bublyk; plural bubliki; Belarusian: абаранак, abaranak, Russian and Ukrainian: бублик, Polish: obwarzanek, Lithuanian: riestainis) is a traditional Central and Eastern European bread roll. It is very similar to a bagel, but somewhat bigger and has a wider hole. Bubliks often also have a much denser and 'chewier' texture than bagels. The bublik is acknowledged to be the progenitor of the bagel.
