Braided bun with sesame seeds

6 servings

50 minutes

Sesame braided bun is the embodiment of home comfort and warm memories. Its roots go back to European baking traditions, where the skill of braiding dough symbolizes care and attention. The bun has a delicate, airy texture with a slightly sweet taste enriched by the aroma of butter. The sesame covering the golden crust adds a light nutty note and a crunchy accent. This bread pairs perfectly with jams, honey, or simply a cup of hot tea. Making the bun is not just about creating a delicious treat but also an opportunity to immerse oneself in an atmosphere of coziness and culinary creativity.
