Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 300 milliliters Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 50 grams Sesame seeds
• 150 grams Dairy-free cheese (shredded)
• 1 tablespoons Nigella seeds
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the warm water and olive oil.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients until a soft dough forms, then knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and then roll it into a long rope.

Step 7

Form each rope into a ring, pressing the ends together to seal. Place the rings on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Brush the rings with a little water and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds and nigella seeds.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the rings are golden brown.

Step 10

While the kaak rings are baking, mix the shredded dairy-free cheese and dried oregano in a small bowl.

Step 11

Remove the kaak from the oven and sprinkle the cheese mixture on top of each ring.

Step 12

Return the kaak to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly melted.

Step 13

Allow the kaak to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor experience!
