How to Make Beirut Tahini Swirls Sukkar Bi Tahin
- In a medium bowl, dissolve 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast in 1 cup (240ml) lukewarm water.
- Stir in 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, then add ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar and ¼ cup (60ml) olive oil.
- Stir until just combined.
- Gradually incorporate another 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, then turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 2-3 hours, or until doubled in volume.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). If using, place a baking stone or unglazed quarry tiles on the middle oven rack.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup (120g) tahini and ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar until smooth.
- Set aside.
- Gently punch down the risen dough and divide it into 6 equal pieces.
- Working with 3 pieces at a time (keeping the others covered), flatten each piece on a lightly floured surface. Roll each into a 5x10 inch rectangle.
- Spread 2 ½ tablespoons of the tahini-sugar mixture evenly over each rectangle, almost to the edges.
- Starting from a long side, tightly roll each rectangle into a cylinder (about 20 inches long).
- Anchor one end of the cylinder, then coil it around itself, tucking the end underneath. Gently flatten with your palm.
- Repeat with the remaining 2 pieces of dough. Set aside, covered.
- Lightly roll each coil with a rolling pin to create a 6-7 inch diameter round. (A little filling may leak out – that's okay!)
- Carefully place the swirls onto the preheated baking stone or tiles.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
- Transfer the swirls to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
- Repeat steps 10-18 with the remaining 3 pieces of dough.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
