Tahini Bread Tahinli Ekmek Recipes

TAHINI BREAD TAHINLI EKMEK

Steps:

• Proof yeast in 1/8 cup warm water (I add 1 Tablespoon honey).
• Add sugar, scalded milk, and butter.
• Add flour; knead 5 minutes.
• Let rise until doubled; punch down; cut into 5 equal pieces.
• Roll out each piece until they are a thin round shape.
• While dough is rising, make filling by mixing tahini and sugar together.
• Spread the filling on each round equally.
• Roll up jelly-roll style.
• Let rest, covered with a damp cloth, for 30 minutes.
• 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.
• Place parchment paper on an oven tray; arrange dough on it.
• Brush with egg wash; sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Let rest 10 more minutes (I am guessing until doubled).
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bake for 30 minutes.

• Bake in the preheated oven, shaking the baking sheet frequently, until seeds are lightly toasted, 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool, about 10 minutes.
• Pour cooled seeds and 1 1/2 cups olive oil into a food processor. Blend until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add more oil and blend until a thick yet pourable consistency is reached.
