Ka,ak saudi or lebaneses local food

Ingredients:

• 7 1/3 cup flour, all-purpose
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 Tbsp active dry yeast
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 cups warm water
• sesame seeds for garnish

preparation:

• Mix together the yeast, flour, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add in the 2 cups of water and combine all ingredients with your hands (the kids love to do this part).
• Knead the mixture until you get it to a dough-like consistency.
• Place back into bowl and cover with a towel. Let it sit for an hour – it will double in size.
• Preheat the oven to 450F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Now it’s time to roll out the dough into key-ring shapes. Stretch it out with a rolling pin and roll into a round circle. We use the largest cookie cutter shape we can find to cut a hole into the dough – the traditional kaak have holes closer to the top, which is what we aim for.
• Place the kaak on the sheet, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Bake for 7-10 minutes until golden in color and puffy.
• Remove from oven – eat warm. Repeat with remaining dough.
