Simit
(Turkish Croissant with Sesame Seeds)

8 oz flour    
1 tb milk, plus extra
1/2 ts salt
1 tb water
2 oz margarine
1 egg
1 tb olive oil
sesame seeds

Put the flour and salt in a large bowl and make a hole in the
middle. Into this hole pour the melted marg, olive oil, milk, water
and beaten egg.

Stirring from the outside into the middle gradually mix all the
liquids into the flour until you have a dough. It will feel a bit
oily, but is quite manageable. With floured hands shape the dough
into rings about the diameter of a saucer and arrange them on a
baking sheet. Brush them over with milk and sprinkle the sesame
seeds on them. Bake them in a 400 degree oven for approx. 30 minutes
or until they are nicely browned.
