Greek donut
Greek bagel for Breakfast... One who has been or lives in Greece knows what it tastes like in the morning... a warm bagel and a small Cup of Greek coffee... for the First time, kuluri appeared when even Greece had a wider border and was called the Byzantine Empire. Bakers well-known Thessaloniki (gr. Of Thessaloniki) created a simple plain bagel recipe, which soon reached the capital of the Empire - Constantinople (today Istanbul is unfortunately all Greeks, but that's another story...). The merchants walked on the main streets and squares with big baskets full of kuluri, and shouted, calling buyers: "Colori Thessalonikis, kuluri Thessalonikis..." So the bagel got its name, which came to our days. Colori Thessaloniki - Greek name of a donut. And now in Athens on the big streets and the subway in the morning you can find vendors legendary colori. Variations of kuluri very much savoury, with toppings, BUT... classic "Koulouri Thessalonikis" only with sesame seeds!!! Offer a recipe! ;)

Cooking

step-0
Dissolve the yeast in warm water, add honey, sugar, salt, oil.
step-1
Pour the mixture into a container in which the flour-krupchatka, mix well.
step-2
Gradually add the sifted flour, kneading the dough.
step-3
The resulting dough is soft, sticks to the hands. Cover the top with a towel to dry, and put in a warm place. I usually include the oven for 30-40 deg. and put back together with towel capacity with the test.
step-4
After 40 minutes the dough is ready! Grease hands with vegetable oil and begin to sculpt our culure.
step-5
Make the lace from the piece of dough. I took about 50 g ball, BUT... my family loves plump koulouria. In the original, they are thinner and the hole larger. Therefore, it is better to take less dough and make a thinner lace.
step-6
Connect the ends of the lace.
step-7
Colori put in a bowl with sesame seeds. For better bonding of sesame always advised to lubricate them with water, and for the best glow in the water add sugar. This time I didn't do the sesame seeds stuck well, but the blush was very natural.
step-8
Put on baking tray and put back in the oven for 30-40*C for 30 min.
step-9
They are a little swollen again. Turn the oven mode "top-bottom blowing", blowing -a must!- we need a crust! The set temperature 165-170 ° C and time 20 min.
step-10

step-11
Soft inside and crisp crust on the outside!!!
step-12
A nice Breakfast!!!
