Directions
- First, prepare the dough. ≈ 3 min
- To do this, mix the yeast with the sugar and warm water, then let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- Next, add this mixture to a bowl, and begin kneading, gradually adding salt and flour until you have a dough that is soft and pliable. ≈ 10 min
- On the other hand, the butter or margarine is melted in a saucepan, then removed from the heat. ≈ 3 min
- We add 2 tablespoons of tahini and mix thoroughly to ensure the melted butter completely incorporates it. ≈ 3 min
- Divide the dough into three equal portions and roll each portion out using a rolling pin. ≈ 4 min
- Next, apply a mixture of gelatin to each portion and roll them up. ≈ 10 min
- Finally, roll each roll up into a tight cylinder. ≈ 3 min
- Place each piece in the refrigerator and let it rest for about 20 minutes (until the dough firms up).
- While the dough is resting, prepare the filling.
- Finely chop the onion and sauté it in oil until it is softened. ≈ 8 min
- Next, the ground meat is added to a pan and cooked lightly, then salt and spices are added.
- Add the finely chopped parsley, which you have prepared in advance. ≈ 3 min
- While you’re doing that, take out the pasta from the refrigerator and spread it out using a spatula, adjusting the amount to fit your baking dish.
- Place the first dough on a lightly oiled baking sheet, then spread half of the meat mixture evenly over it. ≈ 3 min
- Place the second layer of dough on top, then spread the remaining filling over the second layer, and finally, cover with the third layer. ≈ 3 min
- Cut the slices into square shapes, butter them, and sprinkle with seeds. ≈ 8 min
- Cook until the surface reaches a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius (approximately 30 minutes).
