Armenian tahini rolls

Instructions

1. 1

   Pre heat oven to 325F.

2. 2

   Combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a bowl. In a small bowl combine egg and oil. Warm up the milk. Add the milk to the flour mixture, then add in the egg mixture to make a smooth, elastic and not sticky dough. If sticky add more flour.

3. 3

   Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes. The dough won’t rise like other bread doughs, so don’t worry.

4. 4

   Divide the dough into 12 pieces, cover and let them sit for around 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Roll one ball of dough out to a very wide thin circle. Spread a thin layer of the tahini mixture. Starting at the longest edge, roll up the dough into a rope. Holding one end of the rope, start folding up so it makes a coiled bun. Gently flatten the bun with the rolling pin or with your hand. Place on a greased or lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.

6. 6

   Brush the rolls with the beaten egg, then sprinkle a few sesame seeds over top. Bake 25-30 minutes or until light brown.

7. 7

   Enjoy. Keep them in air tight containers. They taste good by themselves or smear them with butter.
