1 kg white strong flour | |
18 gr. active dry yeast | |
200 gr. brown sugar (plus extra 15 gr. for the yeast) | |
1 tsp ground cinnamon | |
500 gr lukewarm water | |
150 gr sunflower oil (plus 2 tbsp for kneading) | |
Lemon zest from 1 lemon | |
260 gr. tahini | |
180 gr. molasses | |
6 tbsp roughly chopped walnuts | |
Sesame seeds for sprinkling |
1. | In a large bowl sift flour and mix with ground cinnamon. |
2. | In a small saucepan heat up water. Add sugar and stir until melted. |
3. | In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup water, 15 gr. sugar and active dry yeast. Let it activated for 15 minutes. |
4. | Add lukewarm water, sunflower, activated yeast, and lemon zest to the flour. |
5. | Knead by hand, until incorporated all the ingredients. Add sunflower in your hands for the kneading. |
6. | Dough is elastic, but not so fluffy like the buttery dough. |
7. | Place dough in a clean bowl. Cover with a towel. Let the dough until doubled in volume, about 3 hrs. |
8. | Divide it into 4 equal balls. |
9. | Roll each ball using a rolling pin on a floured surface into a rectangle. |
10. | Spread the filling with a spoon over the dough and roll it into a log starting with the long side. Roll it tightly. |
11. | Cut equal sized rolls about 3-4 centimeters. |
12. | Place the rolls onto a baking sheet. Allow them to rise, either covered with a towel or place the pan still covered in a slightly warm oven (50o Celsius). The dough in the oven will double in size faster. Choose your way. |
13. | Preheat the oven in 200o degrees (Celsius) and bake them about 18-20 minutes. |
14. | Allow them to cool down onto a cooling rack. |
