Sweet Tahini Rolls
When you hear shortcrust pastry, I bet the first filling that comes to mind is chocolate, right?
So this time I’ve done something else.
I like to make roulades, especially since the dough is so easy to work with, it’s hard to go wrong.
I wanted a sweet tahini filling that is basically halva. I added some halva spread, which makes the filling perfect! This is so tasty, I could eat the filling with a spoon. Makes wonderful cookies for the weekend.
Ingredients:
For the dough:
280 grams flour (2 cups)
100 grams cold butter
50 grams sugar (1/4 cup)
80 ml milk (1/3 cup)
5 grams baking powder (1 tsp)
For the sweet tahini filling:
3 heaped tsp raw tahini
3 heaped tsp honey / silan (date hone) / maple syrup
1 heaped Tbsp halva spread
Preparation:
1. Cut the butter into small cubes. Place all the ingredients in a mixer and operate on low speed with the hook attachment until you get a coarse crumb consistency. Stop the mixer and gather the crumbs into a ball.
2. Mix the tahini and honey until you get a relatively stiff spread.
3. Divide the dough in two and roll into a rectangle. Spread half of the filling over the dough and roll into a roulade. Freeze for over an hour.
4. Preheat an oven to 180°C.
5. Slice the roulade into 3-4 cm thick slices and arrange in a baking tray. Another option is to score the roulade without cutting into slices.
6. Bake for around 25 minutes or until the bottom goes golden.
