Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 milliliters Warm milk
• 100 milliliters Warm water
• 50 grams Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 50 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 50 grams Softened butter
• 1 piece Egg white
• 1 piece Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the vegetable oil, egg white, and salt to the yeast mixture and mix well.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions.

Step 7

Roll out each portion into a long rope (about 40 cm/16 inches) and flatten it slightly. Spread a small amount of softened butter over the length of the rope.

Step 8

Twist the rope gently and shape it into a ring, tucking the ends together to seal. Repeat for all portions.

Step 9

Place the shaped bagels on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let them rest for another 15 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 11

Brush the bagels with the egg yolk (mixed with a splash of water) and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your soft Turkish Acma bagels fresh or with your favorite toppings!
