Directions

  1. First, prepare the dough. ≈ 3 min
  2. To do this, mix the yeast with the sugar and warm water, then let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. 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
  4. On the other hand, the butter or margarine is melted in a saucepan, then removed from the heat. ≈ 3 min
  5. We add 2 tablespoons of tahini and mix thoroughly to ensure the melted butter completely incorporates it. ≈ 3 min
  6. Divide the dough into three equal portions and roll each portion out using a rolling pin. ≈ 4 min
  7. Next, apply a mixture of gelatin to each portion and roll them up. ≈ 10 min
  8. Finally, roll each roll up into a tight cylinder. ≈ 3 min
  9. Place each piece in the refrigerator and let it rest for about 20 minutes (until the dough firms up).
  10. While the dough is resting, prepare the filling.
  11. Finely chop the onion and sauté it in oil until it is softened. ≈ 8 min
  12. Next, the ground meat is added to a pan and cooked lightly, then salt and spices are added.
  13. Add the finely chopped parsley, which you have prepared in advance. ≈ 3 min
  14. 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.
  15. Place the first dough on a lightly oiled baking sheet, then spread half of the meat mixture evenly over it. ≈ 3 min
  16. 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
  17. Cut the slices into square shapes, butter them, and sprinkle with seeds. ≈ 8 min
  18. Cook until the surface reaches a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius (approximately 30 minutes).
