How to Make Acma Soft Turkish Bagels

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast with 1/2 cup (120ml) of warm water.
  2. Stir until the yeast dissolves completely. Then add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (60ml) of warm milk, and 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil.
  3. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Gradually add 2 1/2 to 3 cups (300-360g) of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt, kneading until a smooth and elastic dough forms. Add more flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled large bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Gently punch down the dough. Roll a small portion (about 1.5-2 ounces) into a long rope.
  7. Form the rope into a ring, pinching the ends together to seal.
  8. Brush the acma with 1 egg white, lightly beaten. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
  9. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  10. Arrange the acma on the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
  12. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bagels are cooked through.
