TAHINI BREAD TAHINLI EKMEK

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.

BREAD WITH TAHINI AND SYRUP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, salt and butter. Mix lightly with your fingertips until dough forms pea-sized pieces. Stir in milk and lightly knead until dough forms a ball. Transfer dough to a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest 1 hour.
• On a lightly floured board, shape dough into a log and divide into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place on the floured board under a slightly damp towel for 30 minutes.
• Stir together the tahini, maple syrup and melted butter, and set aside.
• Roll four of the dough balls into 7-inch rounds, and coat the surface of three of the rounds with a thin layer of the tahini mixture and stack them on top of each other. Place the fourth, uncoated round on top and press the edges together to seal the stack. Place a towel over the top and repeat process with remaining four dough balls. (You should have extra tahini mixture left over). Let them rest for 30 minutes.
• Place one of the stacks on a lightly floured board, sprinkle with a little flour and gently roll into a larger 9-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick. Spread half of the remaining tahini mixture over the top, and roll up like a jelly roll. Use a sharp knife to cut into 4 pieces and place them under a towel. Repeat with remaining round. Let them rest for 15 minutes, then roll each piece of dough into a 6-inch square.
• Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush lightly with the melted butter. Place one square of dough in the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, or until dough begins to bubble and turn light brown. Brush bread lightly with melted butter, flip and bake other side for 30 seconds to a minute, or until slightly crisp on the outside but still soft. Transfer bread to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm, and cook remaining bread.
• Serve hot, drizzled with warm maple syrup.

TAHINI BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch glass loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Add the granulated sugar, eggs and 2/3 cup tahini to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until creamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the bananas, oil, vanilla and cinnamon. Add the flour in 3 batches, making sure it is well combined after each addition.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Mix the black and white sesame seeds in a small bowl and sprinkle on top. Bake until deep golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or mostly clean with some moist crumbs clinging to it, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Stir together the confectioners' sugar, 4 teaspoons warm water and the remaining 2 tablespoons tahini in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the top of the bread with the glaze.
