Açma is an indispensable delicacy on breakfast tables. With this recipe, you will prepare warm and soft açmas that will become everyone’s favorite! These delicious açmas, with their airy interior and golden-brown exterior, are also quite easy to make. Here is the recipe for aromatic and happiness-inducing açmas:
Ingredients
- 3 cups of warm milk
- 1 cup of vegetable oil
- 2 eggs (one yolk separated for brushing the tops)
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons of salt
- 1 packet of instant dry yeast
- Approximately 8-8.5 cups of all-purpose flour
Preparation of Açma
- Firstly, add sugar and yeast to the warm milk, stir to dissolve and activate the yeast.
- In a deep bowl, combine this mixture with the remaining ingredients except for the flour and mix well.
- Gradually add flour and knead thoroughly. The dough should be slightly softer than the consistency of an earlobe, sticking lightly to your hands.
- Cover the dough with a clean plastic bag and let it rest for approximately 30-40 minutes for proofing.
- When the dough has risen, tear off pieces the size of a mandarin and shape them into discs the width of a tea saucer using your hands. Roll them up, giving them the shape of an açma by twisting them left and right.
- Prepare all the dough in this way.
- Then, place the açmas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the tops with egg yolk.
- Let them proof in the tray for 15-20 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit) until the tops turn golden brown.
Tip

- The milk should be warm but not hot; otherwise, the dough won’t rise.
- The dough should have a soft consistency, sticking lightly to your hands.
- Cover the dough thoroughly and let it rest for approximately 30-40 minutes for proofing.
- After shaping the dough, let it proof in the tray for 15-20 minutes before placing it in the oven; bake until the tops turn golden brown.
