Ay çöreği (crescent bun), made by filling sweet yeasted dough with a pine nut filling and shaping it into a braid, is one of the impressive flavors of special-occasion tables. Baked in the oven, it takes on a golden color and soft texture.

3

Let it rise

60 min

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

4

Prepare the filling

5 min

Mix the pine nuts with sugar and cinnamon.

5

Braid and shape

55 min

Roll out the dough, spread the filling, cut into strips, braid and shape into a crescent; cover and let rest for another 30 minutes.

6

Bake

25 min

Brush the top with egg yolk and bake in a preheated 180-degree oven until golden brown.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Letting the çörek rest one last time for 20 minutes before baking gives it a puffier, softer texture.
