How to use this list
Check your pantry for active dry yeast, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, mahleb, fine salt, sesame seeds, nigella seeds, and honey. Buy whole milk, large eggs, and unsalted butter fresh. Measure the listed six cups of flour and one cup of butter rather than estimating, since this batch is sized for two loaves.
Common mistakes
Do not leave off the mahleb if you want the characteristic choreg aroma named in this recipe. Avoid buying instant yeast by habit without checking how it compares to the listed active dry yeast. Sesame and nigella seeds are separate items, so do not assume one seed topping covers both.
What is on this list
You will need whole milk, active dry yeast, sugar, three eggs, butter, and six cups all-purpose flour. The list also includes mahleb, fine salt, sesame seeds, nigella seeds, and honey. Cross off pantry staples you own, but check expiration dates on yeast before relying on an older packet.
Before you go
