Method

Dissolve the yeast in warm water, add the flour and salt and knead a soft dough. Leave for 40 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8–10 pieces, roll each into a 50 cm rope, fold in half, twist into a cord and join into a ring.
Dilute the pekmez with water and dip the rings into the mixture, then coat them in sesame seeds.
Place on a baking sheet, let rest for 15 minutes and bake at 200 °C for 20–25 minutes until golden.
