Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups flour
  • ½ cup farina
  • ½ tablespoon sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons mahlab
  • 2 teaspoons Nigella black seeds
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 packet of dry active yeast 2 ¼ teaspoons
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar to this mixture to help feed the yeast and speed the activation process along.
  • Combine flour, farina, melted butter, milk and salt. When the yeast mixture is foamy, add it to these ingredients and knead them together.
  • Add the mahlab and Nigella black seeds to the dough and knead some more. When the dough is thoroughly kneaded, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double in size.
  • Take a small handful of dough and roll it into a rope 8" long and ½" in diameter. To prevent the dough from sticking, roll the dough on a lightly floured surface or a silicone baking mat.
  • Bring the ends of the dough around to form a circle and press the ends together to seal. Alternatively, bring the two ends together and twist both ends of the dough a few times together.
  • Scatter some sesame seeds on a plate and roll the top side of your rope into the seeds (or sprinkle the seeds on top and very gently tap into the dough before baking). Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or until just slightly turning golden brown.
