Preparation

• Step 1

  Place water, canola, salt in a food processor. Blend until white, about 1 minutes. Add sugar and pulse until blended. Add flour, baking powder and cinnamon and blend until a dough forms, about 3 to 5 minutes.

• Step 2

  Turn onto the counter and roll the dough into a log shape. Cut into 4 logs. Cut each log into about 9 pieces each. Roll into a disk and place it on the counter. Continue with the rest of the dough. Once they are all formed into disks, cover with a towel and let rest for 20 minutes. 

• Step 3

  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

• Step 4

  Take a disk and roll it, then bring the two edges together, forming a ring-like shape seal with your fingerprint. Continue with the rest of the dough. Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using) and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
