We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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.
