Instructions
- 1
Warm the milk to body temperature; add the dry yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar and wait 5 to 10 minutes, until foamy.
10 min10:00 - 2
Add the egg, melted butter, remaining sugar, and salt to the yeasted milk and mix with a whisk.
- 3
Add the flour gradually and knead for 8 to 10 minutes, until you have a soft dough that does not stick to your hands.
10 min10:00 - 4
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 60 minutes; it should double in size.
1 hr60:00 - 5
For the filling, mix the tahini, cinnamon, and optional molasses.
- 6
Deflate the dough and roll it thinly into a rectangle.
- 7
Spread the tahini filling thinly over the dough and distribute the raisins evenly.
- 8
Roll the dough tightly into a log.
- 9
Slice the roll, arrange the pieces on a parchment-lined tray, cover, and rest for another 15 minutes.
15 min15:00 - 10
Brush the top with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- 11
Bake in a preheated 180°C oven for 22 to 25 minutes, until golden; serve warm.
23 min23:00
💡 Tip: The milk must be lukewarm for the yeast to work; hot milk kills the yeast. Wait until the dough doubles, because rushing the rise makes the buns dense.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: It pairs beautifully with strong tea at breakfast or with Turkish coffee in the afternoon.
