Method

1. Mix the dry ingredients and set aside...
2. Beat the eggs with the vanilla, salt, and sugar
3. Add the oil and milk to the eggs and beat well.
4. Add the dry ingredients mixture over the egg mixture and stir well, then set aside to rise and rest for about an hour.
5. After the required time, shape the dough as desired into fingers or rings. Dip them in the sesame and nigella seed mixture.
6. If the dough feels sticky and a bit runny, you can add more flour.
7. Place the ka'ak tray in a preheated oven until the ka'ak turns golden. Bake from the bottom first, then from the top. If your oven heats from both sides, a shorter baking time will be enough.
