tahinopites recipe



Method  

Before you begin this Fillo Pastry recipe, take your Filo Pastry out of the fridge to bring it up to room temperature in its packaging.

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a baking tray with oil.

To make the Tahinopita filling
Add the tahini, brown sugar and cinnamon to a bowl. Stir to combine. Add water to the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, until you have a spreadable consistency.

To assemble the Tahinopites
Lay one sheet of Fillo Pastry onto your workspace, with the long side of the Fillo Pastry facing you. Brush with oil. Lay another sheet of Fillo Pastry over the first sheet and brush with oil. Lay a third sheet on top, but don’t add any oil. Spread about 4 tablespoons of the tahini mixture across the pastry.

Roll into a log. Twist the log loosely and coil the pastry into a spiral shape. Transfer to the baking tray. Repeat with the remaining Fillo Pastry.

Bake for 40 minutes.
