Recipe 35-Koulouria Thessalonikis (ring shaped small breads)

Yes, you can bake them. It 's easy and the result is so delicious and healthy!

Ingredients (for 6)

3 cups flour
3/4 cup warm water
1 teaspoon dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large plate full of sesame seeds

In a large bowl put the flour. In the middle create a small hole and add the yeast, salt, sugar and oil. Mix with your hand, then pour in the water and start kneading until you have a smooth dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place for 1 hour.
Knead again the dough for 1-2 min. Preheat the oven to 380F (190C). Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Take one of them and roll it up giving the shape of a snake about 35-40 cm. Wet your hands and press the one end against the other in order to form a ring. Brush some water on one side and place this side on the plate with the sesame seeds. Brush the other side and turn it upside down. Now both sides have sesame seeds on them. Repeat with all the pieces of the dough and place the ring shaped breads on a baking sheet.
Bake for 30 min or until golden brown.
For more crunchy results, in the end you can broil each side for 1 min.

There you go! Koulouria Thessalonikis in your home!

Enjoy!
