Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 3/4 cup yogurt and 1 tbsp olive oil; stir until a shaggy dough forms.

  2. 2

    Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for 2 minutes until smooth. Divide into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a 10-inch rope.

  3. 3

    Fold each rope in half and twist the two strands together, pinching the ends to seal. Brush each twist with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.

  4. 4

    Spread 1/4 cup sesame seeds on a plate. Press each oiled twist into the seeds, coating all sides. Place on a baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake at 400°F for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
