Instructions
- 1
Add the granulated sugar and yeast to lukewarm water and wait 5 minutes, until the top foams.
5 min05:00 - 2
Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl; make a well in the center, add the activated yeast and olive oil, and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until you have a smooth, elastic dough that does not stick to your hands.
10 min10:00 - 3
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 60 minutes, until doubled.
1 hr60:00 - 4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured counter and roll it into a rectangle about 40x30 cm. Spread the tahini evenly over it, scatter half the sesame seeds, and leave a 1 cm border around the edges.
- 5
Roll tightly from the long side and cut into 8 equal pieces; arrange them on a parchment-lined tray, brush with egg yolk, and sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds.
- 6
Bake in a preheated 190°C oven for 18 to 22 minutes, until the tops are golden brown; rest on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
22 min22:00
💡 Tip: Yeast activation is critical; if it does not foam, the yeast is old and the dough will not rise. Leave a 1 cm border while spreading the tahini so it does not leak as you roll.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the warm buns with strong tea, or with white cheese or molasses if desired.
