Turn completed dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half and roll each half to an 8 by 8 inch square. With a large knife or pizza wheel cut the square into strips about ½ inch wide.

Spread some sesame seeds on the work surface. Glaze one strip of dough at a time with egg glaze. Place glazed side down onto the sesame seeds. Lightly glaze underside and sprinkle with seeds. Form into a ring, closing ends firmly (Note: To close the ring neatly, cut a diagonal slice off each end slanting in the same direction. When the circle is closed, the ends will connect perfectly) and place onto greased baking trays. Cover with a towel and allow to rise 20 to 25 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450°F and place a baking dish with hot water on the bottom shelf. Place the rings on the center shelf and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until they are golden and sound hollow when tapped.

Remove from oven and quickly brush or spray with water, leave on the baking tray to cool. This makes the crust crispy.
