- Proof dry yeast with warm milk, water, and sugar. Add plenty of sunflower oil (or melted butter), egg whites, and salt, gradually adding flour to make a very soft dough, and let rise.
- Divide into small pieces, and with butter-greased hands, stretch the dough into long strips.
- Twist two strips together like a rope, join the ends to form a ring. Place on a baking sheet, let rise again, brush with egg yolk, sprinkle with black sesame or nigella seeds, and bake until fluffy and golden.
