The scent of toasted sesame seeds clings to the air around this small bakery, drifting out from a round, golden-brown ring of bread resting in the window. This shop specializes in the koulouri, a simple circular bread coated in sesame seeds that has sustained Athenians for generations. While many bakeries around the city produce them by the thousands, this corner spot keeps the traditional recipe alive, mixing the dough before dawn every single morning to ensure a crisp, chewy bite for commuters.
