Method

1. Continue cooking — Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together.
2. Blend — In a separate bowl, beat 6 eggs, then blend in the butter and milk.
3. Continue cooking — Sprinkle one tablespoon of sev dzandig (black seeds) and all the mahleb on top of the dry ingredients.
4. Mix together — Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in all at once, mixing with a few strokes until the dough can be turned out onto a floured board.
5. Add ingredients — Add more flour if necessary; it shouldn't be too sticky.
6. Mix together — Knead the mixture gently, just a few times, and then roll it out until it is ½" thick.
7. Roll out — Cut it into diamond shapes, circles, or long strips which can be rolled and braided into loaves.
8. Add ingredients — Prick each piece several times with a fork. Beat the seventh egg with additional sev dzandig (black seeds) added.
9. Cover and cook — Brush each piece of koulenje with this glaze and place on cookie sheet covered with baking parchment.
10. Bake — Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes until slightly golden.
11. Heat the pan — Cool on a rack. These are best eaten warm. You can reheat them by wrapping in foil.
