Greek Street Food

Koulouria, the Greek version to the New York City hot pretzel. Delicious, savory, slightly sweet and highly addictive.  Once I became comfortable making them I had fun making twisted rings and twisted sticks.

Ingredients
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 c. warm water
2 1/4 tsp. dry yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbs. honey
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
1 /4 c. sesame seeds

Directions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
In large bowl combine flour, yeast, salt, honey and olive oil.
Work ingredients together.
Gradually add water to form a dough.
Knead for 5 minutes, cover and set in warm place for 45 minutes.
When dough has doubled in size divide into 10 equal portions.
On floured board roll each piece into long rope, press ends together to form ring.
Dip rings in bowl of warm water then into sesame seeds to coat well.
Place each on parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown, about 30-40 minutes.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
