| Butter (Half Pack) | 125 Grams | ||
| Yogurt | 2 Tbsp | ||
| Liquid Oil | 1/2 Half Cup | ||

Steps:
-
Take the butter out of the fridge and bring it to room temperature. In a deep mixing bowl, first take the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, mahaleb) and mix them and make a small space in the middle.
-
Add oil, room temperature butter and yoghurt to the middle of the pool you have opened and knead a soft dough that will not stick to the hand, stretch it and let it rest in the fridge for half an hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Take walnut-sized pieces from the rested dough and make a roll and form a bagel by joining the ends.
-
Whisk the egg white well and mix. Roast the sesame seeds in a pan without oil for five minutes, turn them pink and put them in a bowl.
-
Line a flat baking tray with baking paper. Dip the prepared bagels first in egg white, then in roasted sesame seeds, put them on the tray and bake for about 20-30 minutes until they turn pink.
-
Take the oil lamp bagels out of the oven, put them on a paper towel, let them rest for 15 minutes and serve. Bon Appetit!
-
If you wish, you can also make plain oil lamp bagels by brushing some of the bagels with egg yolk.
-
Note: You can use black cumin or both instead of sesame.
