Steps:
- To prepare these Greek sesame bread rings recipe, start by making the dough. In the mixer's bowl add the lukewarm water, the yeast and sugar and stir. Wrap well with plastic wrap and set aside for about 8-10 minutes, until the yeast starts bubbling. Into the same bowl, add first the flour, then the salt and olive oil. Using the dough hook, mix all the ingredients at low speed for about 7 minutes, until the dough becomes an elastic ball. When done, remove the dough from the hook and check out its texture. It should be smooth and elastic and slightly sticky. If it is too sticky, add just a little more flour (1/2 tsp), mix and check again.
- Coat lightly a bowl with some olive oil, place the dough inside and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough sit in warm place for about 30 minutes. Knead the dough again at medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes.
- Turn the dough onto a working surface and divide into 12 pieces. Take one piece of the dough and roll out into a rope approx. 35cm long. Form a circle and join the ends pinching them together. Place the bread ring on a large baking tray, lined up with parchment paper and repeat with the rest of the dough. (You will need two large baking trays.)
- Prepare the ingredients for the garnish. In one bowl pour some water. In a separate bowl or tray place the sesame seeds. Dip the koulouria (bread rings) in water and then in sesame seeds, making sure to cover them on all sides. Place them back on your baking sheets, leaving some distance between them. Let them rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. (For garnish you can also petimezi for extra flavour. Use 1/3 of a cup petimezi diluted in 1/4 of cup water and dip the bread rings first in the petimezi mixture and then in sesame seeds.)
- Bake in preheated oven at 200C for about 15 minutes, until nicely golden brown and crusty. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Mix the flours and the salt in the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a hook. Set aside. Pour the water into a larger glass measuring cup and stir in the yeast and the sugar, until the yeast is dissolved. Let the liquid rest for 5 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
- With the motor running, add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and beat on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until it forms a soft, elastic dough. The dough should be easy to handle and it should pull away from the bottom and the sides of the bowl. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water; if it is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour. Grease the bowl with olive oil, place the dough back into the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow it to rest for one hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F Convection/Fan.
- To make the coating, fill a bowl with about 2 cups of room temperature water. Add the sugar and mix well to dissolve. Put the sesame seeds in a separate, shallow bowl.
- Brush some olive oil on to a clean work surface. Turn out the dough onto the surface, cut it into 10 pieces, and form smooth balls of uniform size.
- Roll each ball by hand in to a long roll (like a sausage). Bring the two edges together to form a circle. Try to make the 10 circles all the same size and shape so they bake evenly.
- 7. Dip each bread ring into the bowl with water and sugar, gently shake off the excess water, and dip the ring (on both sides) into the bowl with the sesame seeds. Place the coated ring on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the oven and place on a rack. Brush gently with some melted butter while they are still hot and serve!
