I baked Tahini Bread before, but when I saw that the Bread Baking Babes baked them this month, I had to do them again. Natashya from Living in the kitchen with puppies was the host and has chosen the theme. She writes in her post:
The swirls should end up like puffy pita. If they are very thin they will be crispy, if they are not rolled enough, they will puff up like cinnamon rolls. We are striving for a flatbread pastry that puffs a little. Try them a couple of times, experiment. They are fun to bake.
When I look at my first Tahini Breads you can see they were looking like cinnamon rolls. But this time I did better and they look just perfect and it was really fun to bake them. In fact I grilled them instead of baking. As we grill every second day I took the chance and made them on the grill.
Grilled Sukkar bi Tahin – Beirut Tahini Swirls
makes 4
Dough
200 g flour
110 g water
1/2 tsp dried yeast
1 tsb sugar
1/2 tsb olive oil
1/2 tsb salt
filling
60 g tahini
60 g sugar
For the dough: Add all the ingredients in a medium bowl mix and knead until you got a smooth dough. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until doubled in volume.
Mix together the tahini and sugar and stir until smooth. Set aside.
Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Work with 2 at a time, keeping the others covered. Flatten each out on a lightly floured surface, then roll each out to a rectangle. Spread the top surface with 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture, spreading it almost to the edges. Roll up the rectangle from a long side into a cylinder, which will stretch as you roll to about 30 cm long. Anchor one end and coil the bread around itself, then tuck the end in.
Flatten with the palm of your hand, then set aside, covered, while you fill and shape the other rectangle. Return to the first coil and roll out gently with a rolling pin. Roll the other out a little and then return to the first one and roll it out a little more thinly, and so on, until you have rolled each to a round about 15-20 cm in diameter. A little filling may leak out—don’t worry, just leave it.
Grill over char 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and flaky. Transfer to a rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
This goes to Bread Baking Babes and to Susan at WildYeast for her weekly YeastSpotting as well.

Beautiful Zorra!
What a great idea to grill them, that would add a whole smokey dimension to the flavour. We grill pizza, we’ll definitely have to try grilling the swirls. You are so creative! Thanks so much for baking with us this month.

Thank you, it was fun!
Ich habe Tahina bisher nur für die Zubereitung von Hummus verwendet, die Schnecken wären eine nette Abwechslung. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass sie wunderbar schmecken. Ich werde allerdings die gebackene Version ausprobieren wollen.
What a great idea to grill these! They look so delicious.
Oh Zorra! Those look heavenly grilled. I will have to try that the next time I make them.
Very nicely done. Seems a bit difficult to shape but I’m thinking the flaky results mean it’s worth it.
Your tahini breads look fantastic!
