Experience the delightful crunch and rich flavor of this traditional Jerusalem sesame bread, perfect for any meal or snack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
Add the olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture, then gradually incorporate the flour, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a long rope, then shape it into an oblong ring, pinching the ends together to seal.
Brush each ring with water and dip them into sesame seeds, ensuring they are well-coated.
Place the rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow them to rest for another 15 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crusty. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
