Steps

1

Start by mixing the flour, the water, the yeast, the sugar, the oil, the salt and the tahini and make a dough that you work thoroughly for 15 minutes.
2

Then divide the dough into 18 pieces, form sticks and then roll them out with a rolling pin into long and narrow strips.
3

Mix the feta cheese with the cream cheese into a well combined mixture.
4

Fill the strips with the cheese mixture and then fold them into rolls - sticks.
5

Dip your hands in water and then brush the koulouri with wet hands so that you wet the bread ring, then dip it into the sesame seeds.
6

Preheat the oven to 235°C and place 4 single-use aluminum cups filled with water in order to produce steam and leave them in the oven for the duration of the baking. Bake the koulouria in a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper for about 20 minutes.
