Description

Best circular bread I’ve ever baked! Coated with delicious sesame seeds. Delicious.

Ingredients

  • 400 grams Flour
  • 1-⅓ teaspoon Instant Yeast
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 250 milliliters Lukewarm Water
  • 150 grams Hulled Sesame Seeds
  • 40 grams Molasses
  • 120 milliliters Boiling Water

Preparation

In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, yeast, salt). Make a well in the center and pour olive oil and lukewarm water into well.

Knead dough with your hands for 5–10 minutes. Divide dough into 16 equal pieces. Take 2 pieces and stretch dough into thin strips about 30 to 35 cm long. Cover rest of dough to prevent it from drying out.

Place 2 strips side-by-side and pinch ends. Twist them together and pinch to join ends.

Place rings on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Let dough sit in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 200°C (390ºF).

Pour sesame seeds into a pan and turn fire on medium heat. Stir seeds every 4–5 minutes until golden. Set aside in a bowl big enough to fit rings of dough.

Pour molasses and boiling water into another bowl big enough to fit rings of dough. Whisk to dissolve molasses completely.

Dip both sides of the rings in molasses mixture and drain excess moisture. Coat both sides in sesame seeds. Transfer to baking sheets.

Bake in preheated oven for about 17 minutes. Bon appétit!
