Tahini is a great source of iron.

This recipe is reminiscent of the tahini pies we used to buy from Zorbas bakery in Cyprus.

Steps

About 20 minutes to prepare
  1. 1

    Make the dough: Combine all the dry ingredients. Add the oil in the center, then gradually add the warm water while kneading until you form a ball of dough (it shouldn't be too firm). Cover and let it rest for about 2 hours.

  2. 2

    Divide the risen dough into four balls. If the dough sticks to your hands, sprinkle with a little flour. Let the balls rest for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Roll out the first ball with a rolling pin, sprinkling the flour-sugar mixture for rolling, into a rectangle about 8 x 12 inches (20 x 30 cm). Spoon the filling evenly over the surface: first brush with oil, then spread the tahini-sugar mixture, and finally sprinkle with cinnamon.

  4. 4

    Roll up the rectangle into a log, sprinkle again with the flour-sugar mixture, and gently stretch it by hand to about 20 inches (50 cm) long. Twist the log into a spiral (like a snail) and pinch the ends together. Flatten the spiral with a rolling pin to about 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter.

  5. 5

    Place the 4 tahini pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) on the middle rack, using the convection setting, for about 12 minutes or until they turn a deep golden brown.

Μια ιστορία... Να, ήμασταν στην Κρήτη, όταν πηγαίνοντας σε ένα χωριό στα βουνά, μάς σταμάτησε σε μια πλατεία η μυρωδιά φρεσκοψημένου ψωμιού. Ο Μάνος εντόπισε τον φούρνο και ρώτησε τη φουρνάρισσα πώς φτιάχνει τόσο μυρωδάτο ψωμί. Εκείνη του απάντησε ότι το έκανε ο άντρας της. Φώναξέ τον, της ζήτησε. «Πώς φτιάχνεις τόσο υπέροχο ψωμί;» ρώτησε κι εκείνον. «Τι να σας πω, εγώ κάθε βράδυ ονειρεύομαι πως φτιάχνω το πιο νόστιμο ψωμί του κόσμου», απάντησε ο φούρναρης. «Αυτό ακριβώς κάνω κι εγώ με τη μουσική», μας είπε τότε ο Χατζιδάκις.
