Activate the yeast
3 minAdd the fresh yeast to the lukewarm water and sugar and stir.
Iraqi nigella mini loaves are a saffron-scented bread made from a quick-rising dough, shaped into small loaves and topped with nigella seeds and sesame before baking. Their small size makes them easy to arrange in a party bread basket, and they keep well in the freezer.
Add the fresh yeast to the lukewarm water and sugar and stir.
Leave it for 5 minutes until it foams.
Add salt to the flour, then pour in the yeasted water and oil, kneading into a soft dough.
Cover the dough and leave it in a warm spot to quick-rise for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into small pieces, shape into mini loaves, and sprinkle with nigella and sesame seeds.
Bake in an oven preheated to 220°C for 12 minutes, until golden on top.
Do not overknead the dough, or the loaves will turn out tough. Let the loaves cool completely before freezing — freezing hot bread causes condensation and sogginess. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), sesame.
If you cannot find saffron, a pinch of turmeric gives a similar colour; the aroma will differ but the look stays the same.

Susam yerine elimde çörek otu fazlaydı, ikisini eşit oranda karıştırıp üzerine serptim, görünüm ve tat gayet uyumlu oldu. Fırınlama süresi hiç değişmedi, aynı sonucu aldım.
Çörek otu ve susam karışımı gerçekten güzel bir alternatif, ikisi birlikte hem görsel hem koku olarak zenginlik katıyor. Fırınlama süresinin değişmemesi de mantıklı, ikisi de ince bir tabaka.
