PREPARATION

7-8 hours before making the dough, let's take 40 grams of sourdough and prepare the pre-yeast with 120 grams of flour, 55 grams of water and 25 grams of sugar. After about 7-8 hours, our yeast is ready for use. While we are waiting for the yeast, let's also prepare the matcha sauce; For matcha sauce, we use matcha powder, which is an antioxidant food, obtained by drying and grinding the Green Tea's  young leaves which is also  rich in fiber. Let's mix all the necessary ingredients for the sauce and keep it covered. Let's knead the dough ingredients for five minutes except Muratbey Butter. Let's add the butter little by little and continue kneading until the dough has a nice structure. After 3-4 hours, let's divide the dough we kneaded into 8 equal parts . Let's roll out each dough part, which we have rested for half an hour, one by one on the counter and spread the matcha sauce inside. Then roll it and cut it in half. Let's knit the dough that we cut in half vertically and knit it crosswise and give it a bagel shape. Let it stand on the tray to ferment. Let's sprinkle sesame on the dough on which we spread the egg white. Then bake the dough in a preheated oven at 170 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
