Roscas Turkish coffee cake rings with cloves are a delicious and traditional pastry originating from the Middle East. These sweet and crunchy rings are made with a combination of flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and spices like cinnamon and cloves. The dough is rolled out and cut into rings, then baked until golden brown. The rings are then dipped in a sweet syrup and topped with chopped walnuts or pistachios for added flavor. Roscas are a popular treat for special occasions like weddings, holidays, and festivals, but can also be enjoyed as a sweet snack or dessert throughout the year. They can also be personalized with different flavors, such as orange zest or rosewater, to suit your taste preferences.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the yeast, 3/4 cup of the flour and the cloves, then whisk in the water until smooth. Let stand uncovered for 10-20 minutes, until it begins to ferment. It may not puff up at all.
- Whisk the salt, oil, and sugar into the yeast slurry until smooth and the salt and sugar have dissolved. Stir in the remaining flour all at once.
- When the mix is a shaggy mess, turn it out onto a work surface and knead until fairly smooth, soft, and just a bit sticky.
- Put it in a warm, clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until at least doubled in size, about 2 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or oil it.
- Divide dough in half. Roll one piece into a rectangle, then roll it up along the long side, evening it and lengthening it until it is about 24 inches long and 1 inch thick.
- Bring the ends together to form a ring, and pinch them together. Transfer to prepared sheet.
- Repeat with the other half of the dough.
- Cover the rings with plastic wrap and leave to rise until tripled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
- Put an oven rack in the upper third position, and preheat to 400°F.
- Beat the egg with a pinch of salt, and glaze the rings. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
- Slash the rings in a sunburst pattern, about 1/2 inch deep and about 2 inches apart to mark off serving sections.
- Bake 25-35 minutes, or until very brown. Rotate the pan about 20 minutes into baking.
- Cool rings on a rack.

Steps:
- Prepare ring:
- Butter a 24-centimeter (about 9-inch) springform pan and line with a round of parchment paper. Butter paper and remove side of pan.
- Stir together sugars and cinnamon.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, dusting with flour as necessary, into a 24- by 9-inch rectangle. Brush off excess flour with pastry brush and trim edges with a pizza wheel or sharp knife.
- Arrange dough so that a long side is nearest you and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over dough, leaving a 1-inch border along bottom edge. Brush border with some beaten egg and chill remaining egg. Fold top edge of dough over about 1 inch. Using both hands, roll dough toward you: Use your thumbs to tuck dough under and tighten as you go, working your way down entire length of log (as when rolling up a poster), and gently rock dough back and forth to keep it taut and even. When finished, roll log back and forth over seam to seal.
- Transfer log, seam side down, to bottom of springform pan, bringing both ends of log together to make a ring. Beginning 2 inches from where ends meet, make vertical cuts from outside of ring toward center at 2-inch intervals, cutting halfway through ring.
- Let ring rise:
- Attach side of pan and slide pan into garbage bag, propping up top of bag with inverted glasses to keep it from touching dough, then tuck open end under pan. Let ring rise until slightly puffy and spongy to the touch, about 2 1/2 hours.
- Make streusel while ring is rising:
- Blend flour and sugar in a food processor. Add frozen butter and pulse until very finely chopped. Chill streusel until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Gently brush top and center of ring with some of remaining beaten egg, then sprinkle with streusel. Bake in middle of oven until top is browned and streusel is crisp, about 45 minutes.
- Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then run a thin knife around edge to loosen and remove side of pan.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality coffee. This will give your roscas a more intense flavor.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the roscas tough.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will ensure that the roscas are light and fluffy.
- Bake the roscas until they are golden brown. This will give them a crispy exterior and a soft, tender interior.
- Serve the roscas warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or honey.
Conclusion:
Roscas are a delicious and easy-to-make Turkish coffee cake that is perfect for any occasion. With their crispy exterior and soft, tender interior, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give roscas a try!
