Mix the flour, mahleb, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Add the yogurt, melted butter, vegetable oil, and 1 egg, then knead a soft dough.
Rest the dough for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into two pieces, shape round loaves, and place them on a tray.
Beat the remaining egg, brush it over the tops, and sprinkle with sesame and nigella seeds.
Bake the loaves at 180°C for 25 minutes until browned.
Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
💡 Tip: Do not leave the dough stiff; when the fat and yogurt are fully worked into the flour, the baked loaf turns crisp instead of dry.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Maras coregi warm or at room temperature with strong tea and optional unsalted cheese.
