Here's the ingredients:

ingredients;

• 1 cup warm water

• 1 egg beaten 

little egg yolk for glaze 

1 tsp sesame seeds , or poppy seeds for topping Me i used rolled oatmeal 

Procedure:

Place the water in a large bowl , add one third of the flour about 5 oz all the sugar and the fresh dried yeast. Mix until smooth , place into greased large bowl cover it with plastic wrap and leave it until frothy ( about 20 minutes ).

Now add the remaining flour, salt , and egg.Mix into soft dough .Place the dough into floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 min). Return to the greased bowl , cover it again with the plastic wrap leave it into warm place to rise the dough until double in size about 1 hour ( or 12-24 hours in the refrigerator). Divide the dough into 4 pieces .Make a ball for each of it, then roll each peace into sausage about 30 cm -12 inches long .Press the strands firmly together at one end then plait tightly

 Place into lightly baking tray , cover oiled plastic wrap or any clean plastic that you can use for covering, leave to rise again until doubled in size about 30 min . Brush with little beaten egg and sprinkle with the seeds you prefer .
