Method

  1. In a deep bowl, put a little warm water with the sugar and yeast and mix until the sugar and yeast granules dissolve
  2. Add a little flour with a pinch of salt and leave the mixture for a few minutes until the yeast reacts well
  3. Then add the remaining flour and powdered milk to the yeast and sugar mixture and mix well, then add the vegetable oil and knead for some time
  4. You will get a soft, slightly sticky dough; let it rest for some time and for at least one hour....
  5. After the required time, form the dough into balls and then shape them as desired or to the size you want, whether mini ka'ak or larger afternoon ka'ak
  6. Roll the balls to a thickness of about 1 centimeter; if making large afternoon ka'ak, place a cup or cutter to cut the dough into a circle and cut a small circle inside the large one
  7. Brush the dough lightly with a little water on top so the bran and sesame will stick, then roll the ka'ak in a mixture of sesame and bran
  8. Let the mini afternoon ka'ak rounds rest for about half an hour, then place them in a hot oven and bake until golden
