Delight in the flavors of this traditional ring-shaped bread, topped with golden sesame seeds and rich in Palestinian heritage. Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes for that fresh-baked taste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the yeast and salt.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together.
Transfer the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough back into the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Divide the dough into equal portions, around 70 grams each.
Roll each portion into a long rope, approximately 30 cm in length. Form each rope into a ring by pinching the ends together tightly.
Place the formed rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them. If desired, brush the tops with honey mixed with a little water for a shiny finish.
Generously sprinkle sesame seeds over the tops of the rings, pressing gently to adhere.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Allow the shaped rings to rest for another 15-20 minutes while the oven heats.
Bake the rings in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
