Step by Step Method
Step 1
Proof yeast in 1/8 cup warm water (I add 1 Tablespoon honey).
Step 2
Add sugar, scalded milk, and butter. Add flour; knead 5 minutes. Let rise until doubled.
Step 3
Punch down; cut into 5 equal pieces. Roll out each piece until they are a thin round shape.
Step 4
While dough is rising, make filling by mixing tahini and sugar together.
Step 5
Spread the filling on each round equally. Roll up jelly-roll style. Let rest, covered with a damp cloth, for 30 minutes.
Step 6
Hold them at both ends of the roll and swing them to make them longer and thinner (That's what the recipe says). Wrap them like a cinnamon roll.
Step 7
Place parchment paper on an oven tray; arrange dough on it.
Step 8
Brush with egg wash; sprinkle with sesame seeds then let rest 10 more minutes (I am guessing until doubled).
Step 9
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 10
Bake for 30 minutes.
