We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Love is the doorway through which the human soul passes from selfishness to service.

INGREDIENTS

1 pk Self-rising flour [I think it is 500 grams or about 1 1/4 lb]
100 g Margarine [just under 4 oz – 1 stick should be OK]
3 tb Oil
3/4 c Lukewarm water
2 tb Arak
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts "mahleb" seeds; ground [a Middle Eastern spice I was unable to translate]
1 Egg white
50 g Sesame seeds [about 2 oz.]

INSTRUCTIONS

I don't remember if the request for the sesame covered, bagel shaped
rolls was ever given, but in case it wasn't, I found one in an
Israeli cookbook: Yerushalayim shel mat'amim / [by] Rina Valero.
Steimatzky, c1984. [From the style, I see the librarian in me is
showing] The book is in Hebrew.
Place flour, margarine, oil, water, Arak, and spices into a bowl and
mix until it is formed inot dough.
Take a walnut size piece of dough and roll into a rope about 1/3 inch
in circumference and about 5 1/2 inches long, then join the two ends
together forming a bagel. Continue until all the dough is used up.
Brush with egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake 45 minutes in a pre-heated moderate oven [350 degrees F]
Cool. Store in a closed container.
I've never made them but I would spray the cookie sheet with Pam or
something similar to prevent sticking. From making real bagels, I
would take the dough, poke a hole in the middle and stretch it into
the proper shape and size. This way the ends won't come apart.
I ask our Israeli friends to let us know how large is the package of
self-rising flour [kemah tofe'ah]
As to the "mahleb" I think it could be safely omitted if you can't
get it.
