Steps

2 hours

1

Start by activating the yeast. In a bowl, combine 1 packet of dry yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 cup warm water, and 1 tablespoon flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
2

In a large mixing bowl, add all the liquids: water, oils, brandy, and orange juice.
3

Add the orange zest, vanilla extract, and sugar, and mix well with a whisk.
4

Add the activated yeast and mix again.
5

Gradually sift in the flour while mixing. Finally, add the salt.
6

Knead until you have a soft, slightly sticky, elastic dough. Lightly oil the dough and let it rise for 1 hour.
7

Mix the dark brown sugar with the tahini thoroughly to make the filling.
8

Knead the dough for 2 minutes to deflate it, then divide into 3 balls.
9

Roll each ball into a rectangular sheet with a rolling pin.
10

Divide the filling into 3 portions. Spread one portion of filling over each rolled-out sheet.
11

Roll each sheet into a log and cut into slices about 1 inch thick. Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with light brown sugar.
12

Bake in a preheated convection oven at 340°F (170°C) on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool before serving. These proportions make a sweet but not overpowering result with a rich aroma. If you prefer a sweeter treat, you can add more sugar, though the recipe already contains plenty.
