Tahini Bread Tahinli Ekmek - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 teaspoons yeast
    1/8 cup warm water
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1 cup milk, scalded
    3 tablespoons butter
    3 cups flour
    filling
    1 cup tahini
    1 cup sugar
    topping
    1 egg, beaten
    3 tablespoons sesame seeds
Preparation
    Proof yeast in 1/8 cup warm water (I add 1 Tablespoon honey).
    Add sugar, scalded milk, and butter.
    Add flour; knead 5 minutes.
    Let rise until doubled; punch down; cut into 5 equal pieces.
    Roll out each piece until they are a thin round shape.
    While dough is rising, make filling by mixing tahini and sugar together.
    Spread the filling on each round equally.
    Roll up jelly-roll style.
    Let rest, covered with a damp cloth, for 30 minutes.
    Hold them at both ends of the roll and swing them to make them longer and thinner (That's what the recipe says.).
    Wrap them like a cinnamon roll.
    Place parchment paper on an oven tray; arrange dough on it.
    Brush with egg wash; sprinkle with sesame seeds.
    Let rest 10 more minutes (I am guessing until doubled).
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
    Bake for 30 minutes.
