Preparation: 20' Cooking time: 12' Waiting time: 1 hour


Ingredients:
​
-
500 g HELIOS All-Purpose Flour
-
270 g. lukewarm water
-
1 sachet of dry yeast
-
1 teaspoon of salt
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
50 g tahini
for the filling
-
125 g sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil (well drained)
-
100 g water
-
150g sesame seeds
Method:​
​
Dissolve the yeast in the water, stir well and add the olive oil and tahini. Sift the HELIOS All-Purpose Flour, add the salt, make a "hole" in the middle and pour in the yeast mixture. Knead well until it becomes a pliable dough.
Divide the dough into 4 pieces and let it rest.
​
Then in a food processor, grind the sun-dried tomatoes and water very well to create a cream.
Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough into a rectangle (very thin sheet) and brush the surface of each dough with ¼ of the cream from the sun-dried tomatoes.
Roll into thin rolls,cut each roll lengthwise with a pair of scissors and roll into a braid.
Bring the 2 ends together creating a wreath,sprinkle a little water over your buns and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake them on a baking tray lined with non-stick paper in a preheated oven at 200oC to 220oC for 12 minutes.
