Ingredients:
2 cups flour (sifted)
2 tsps instant active dry yeast
3 -4 tsps sugar
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
3 tbsp margarine (simas)
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
Sesame seeds for sprinkling
Method
Soak the yeast with 1 tsp of sugar and 1/2 cup of warm water. Cover and set aside.
Pour the flour, sugar, nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Add the salt and stir again. Add the margarine and mix with hand till it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Gradually add the soaked yeast and mix. Knead to form a soft dough. The dough should not be watery. If the batter is too thick add little warm water or if the soaked yeast is much, you can reduce it so that the dough will not be watery.
Cover and keep in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes. It will double in size. After 30 minutes, deflate the dough. Cut with a knife into 10 or more pieces. Mould each into ball. Arrange the balls in the mixing bowl, leaving some space between each ball. Take one of the balls and sprinkle some flour on a board. Roll flat with a rolling pin. Then roll into a thin log like alkaki. Follow the picture below to make your twisted donuts.
When you have finished twisting the donuts. Spread a parchment paper ( baking paper) in a baking tray and arrange the twisted donuts on the parchment paper leave some space between each of the donuts. Keep in a warm place to rise for 5-10 minutes.
Break the egg in a small bowl and whisk. Brush the top of the donuts with the whisked egg. Use a brush to do that. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top of each donut. Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or till golden brown. Twisted Baked Donuts are ready!© Asmie's Kitchen
