Samarkand non is a traditional round bread originating from Uzbekistan. This dense and dry bread made from flour and water (or milk) has a long shelf life and it usually looks like a large bagel. The Samarkand type of non has a darker crust and it's larger, heavier, and more filling than the Tashkent non types of bread. Once baked on the walls of a tandoor oven, the loaf is usually coated with a sheen of oil. In the center, there is a small patch that's covered with black sesame seeds. This type of bread can only be made in Samarkand, and some say (jokingly or not) that the air of the city is the bread's main ingredient.
