'Ka'ak' is actually an umbrella term for baked goods, coming from the classical Arabic 'kaak,' which means 'cake,' per 196 Flavors. However, the word also refers to a specific type of bread with a hole in the middle and a sesame topping. It is popular throughout the Levant, where it may take slightly different shapes. In Lebanon and Jordan, it is made in a teardrop shape with a hole near the narrow end, such that the bread almost looks like a purse. The Israeli style, known as 'ka'ak al quds,' or 'Jerusalem bread,' is shaped like a bagel, sometimes elongated.
Ka'ak is popular street food in the Levant, and you'll often find them at carts, hanging from the rails by their central holes (via Taste Atlas). The Lebanese variety is sometimes stuffed with a variety of fillings, common examples including picon cheese and za'atar, a spice blend containing thyme, sumac, and more sesame seeds. Per Taste Atlas, yogurt and cheese are common accompaniments.
