In a large bowl, mix together warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Add all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, olive oil, and powdered milk to the bowl.
Mix the ingredients together using your hands or a stand mixer.
If the dough feels dry, gradually add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of warm water. (i personally only needed an extra 1/4 cup of water).
Knead the dough on a clean surface with a little olive oil for 10-15 minutes until smooth. oil your hands as well.
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise for about 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, gently release the air and divide it into 12 medium-sized balls.
Let the dough balls rest for another 10 minutes on a floured surface.
Shape the dough by gradually stretching it into a ring shape, similar to the process I've shown of shaping a bagel in the past.
Place the shaped dough on a prepared sheet pan.
Brush the dough with a mixture of honey, pomegranate molasses and water, then dip it into sesame seeds.
Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes in your prepared sheet pan.
Bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes or until the bottoms are slightly browned.
Keep an eye on them as every oven performs differently.
And you’re done!
