About Koulouri
Koulouri is a traditional Greek bread ring known for its crunchy crust and soft interior. Typically enjoyed as a breakfast staple or snack, this sesame-coated treat is made from simple ingredients: flour, water, yeast, olive oil, and sugar. Its golden exterior is achieved by rolling the dough in sesame seeds before baking, giving it a nutty flavor and added texture. Koulouri is popular across Greece and neighboring regions, often paired with cheese, olives, or coffee. Nutritionally, it provides energy from carbohydrates and healthy fats from sesame seeds, which are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals like magnesium and calcium. However, its healthiness depends on portion size and preparation, as variations with added sugar or refined flour may be less nutritious. Opting for whole-grain koulouri or moderating intake can make it a balanced choice within a healthy diet.
