1 tablespoon of sugar

4 cups of flour

1 ½ cup of warm water

¼ cup of vegetable oil

¼ cup of the molasses

½ cup of water

How to prepare

Mix the sugar with yeast, flour and salt. Add water and oil then knead the mixture well using your hands until the dough becomes a bit sticky. Add more flour if needed.

Cover the dough and set aside for an hour and a half until it doubles in size.

The dough is divided into 16 pieces, each piece is individually lengthened in a spiral shape then the tip is attached to the other.

Dip each piece with molasses mixed with water, then sesame on one side, and place them on parchment paper in a tray.

Cover the tray and set aside for 20 minutes, then put it in a preheated oven until it turns brownish.
