Libyan Ca'ak maalah (salt/savoury biscuits) with pics

These are savoury bread-like pastry sticks sprinkled with Sesame Seeds that are famous in Libya and are served with shay arabiy (tea).
My first attempt at cooking caak milha.

Ingredients:

1 cup warm milk
1 cup soft butter or margarine
1 cup of blossom water (orange blossom water / mayat zahar /rose-water)
little salt
1 teaspoon dried yeast (dissolve in a little of the milk)
Approx 7 - 8 cups Flour (self-raising or add a teaspoon of baking powder to plain flour)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mix all of the ingredients except the flour then add enough flour as required to form a soft dough.

Divide the whole amount of dough into 4 equal pieces and each piece of dough is divided again into convenient sizes to roll into a sausage shape, then cut into smaller pieces smaller than a walnut dividing equally.



Take a piece of the cut dough and roll it evenly under your hands until it is approx 8 inches long:



Loop in half :



Then twist to form a kind of plait:



To decorate: brush with milk or egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds



Cook until golden at approx 200 degrees centigrade.



Serve with Shay Arabiy (Arabic tea)
