Mix the warm water, instant yeast, and sugar and let it foam for 8 minutes.
Put the flour, salt, and lightly cracked fennel seeds in a large bowl.
Add the yeasted water and olive oil to the flour and knead for 8 minutes into a smooth dough.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
Tear off pieces of dough, roll them into thin ropes, and close into rings.
Mix the grape molasses and water, brush over the rings, and sprinkle with sesame and nigella seeds.
Bake the rings at 185°C for 22 minutes, until browned.
Cool on the tray for 15 minutes; if they go into a jar hot, they lose their crispness.
💡 Tip: Lightly crack the fennel seeds in a mortar; if powdered, the aroma turns sharp, and if left whole, it does not spread evenly through the dough.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Cool the Kilis rings completely, store in a glass jar, and serve at tea time with white cheese and olives if desired.
