Koulouria Thessalonikis — The Sesame Breads That Tastes Like Home

Some foods taste like a place. For me, koulouria Thessalonikis will always remind me of Thessaloniki.

When I was studying there, koulouri was part of everyday life: a warm, sesame-covered ring grabbed on the way to university, work, shopping, between classes, or with a coffee. It has been a beloved staple of Thessaloniki for generations. No wonder why, it was in my bucket list of ToDo recipes and finally came the moment.

This homemade version brings a little of that memory back to the kitchen.
