These yeast-risen bread rings bring street food into the home kitchen. Shape the dough into rings, dip them in a grape molasses-and-water mixture, coat them generously with sesame seeds and bake. This crunchy bread is a classic for breakfast and tea time.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the dough

15 min

Mix the lukewarm water, yeast and sugar and let stand for 5 minutes. Add the flour, salt and cooking oil, then knead into a smooth dough.

2

Let the dough rise

60 min

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

3

Shape into rings and dip in grape molasses

20 min

Divide the dough into pieces and roll each into a long rope. Twist the ends together to form a ring, then dip it in the grape molasses-and-water mixture and let the excess drain off.

4

Coat with sesame and bake

20 min

Press the rings generously into the sesame seeds to coat. Bake in an oven preheated to 220°C / 430°F until golden.

Reminder

Important: Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place; otherwise, it may not rise enough. The grape molasses-and-water mixture should be lukewarm, not too hot, or the sesame seeds may not stick.
