  • 2 packages (2 tablespoons) active dry yeast
  • ½ teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2½ cups warm water
  • 6 to 6½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground masticha flavoring or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Sesame seeds for topping

    • How To Cook:
    1. Combine yeast, ½ teaspoon sugar, 1½ cups warm water, and 2 cups of flour in a medium-sized bowl. Cover and let rest in a warm place until mixture bubbles and foams, about 10 minutes.

    2. Punch down and combine in a large mixing bowl with salt, masticha or vanilla extract, remaining sugar, cinnamon, and 1 cup warm water. Gradually add only enough of remaining 4 to 4½ cups flour to make soft dough.

    3. Knead for 10 to 15 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a floured bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk.

    4. Preheat oven to 350°.

    5. Punch down dough and break off 12 pieces about the size of a small orange. Roll each piece into a 6-inch-long rope and seal ends to form circles.

    6. Break off pieces of remaining dough to form 6 pencil-thin strips for each dough ring. Create a lattice effect by crisscrossing strips over dough rings.

    7. If any dough remains, continue adding and crisscrossing strips to make a tighter lattice. Place on a buttered baking sheet, brush with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

    8. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden. Cool on racks.
