Step 1
In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1 tsp instant yeast, and 1 tsp salt. Gradually add 3/4 cup warm water, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 2
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Divide dough into 4 pieces, roll each into a 12-inch rope, then twist two ropes together and form into a ring, pressing ends to seal.
Step 4
In a shallow bowl, mix 2 tbsp molasses with 2 tbsp water. Dip each ring in the molasses mixture, then coat generously with 1/2 cup sesame seeds.
Step 5
Place rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake until deep golden brown and crisp, about 15-18 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
