Tahini Bread Tahinli Ekmek Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread sesame seeds onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until seeds are fragrant, stirring every few minutes, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Transfer toasted seeds to a blender and add olive oil. Blend until completely smooth, adding additional oil if needed. Refrigerate in a sealed container.
