by Иван Звездев
Dish type: Breakfast and snacks
Preparation time: 1 hour 15 min
8 Servings
Bulgarian sesame bread rings, briefly boiled in caramel-and-honey water, then baked until golden.
Ingredients for 8 servings:
500 g flour
20 g fresh yeast
1 tbsp sugar
1 scant tsp salt
Oil for brushing
120 g sugar for caramelising
1 tbsp honey
100 g sesame seeds
Water used in the method: 250 ml for the dough and 2–3 litres for boiling.
Preparation
1. Pour 250 ml water into a deep tray. Add the yeast, salt and 1 tbsp sugar; mix well. Add the flour and mix and knead for about 10 minutes. Cover with cling film and leave the dough to rise for 30 minutes.
2. Divide the risen dough into small balls and roll each into a rope.
3. Join the ends of each rope to form a ring and brush with oil.
4. Heat 120 g sugar in a deep frying pan until it melts into a light caramel. Add 2–3 litres water to dissolve it and transfer to a pot. Add the honey and bring to a simmer. Place the shaped rings in the simmering liquid for 1 minute.
5. Remove the rings and coat them in sesame seeds. Arrange on a baking tray and bake in a thoroughly preheated oven at 200°C for 30 minutes.
