  • 12 sheets ready baklava phyllo sheets
  • 200 grams sugar
  • 50 grams butter melted
  • 150 grams walnuts coarsely chopped
  • 200 millilitres tahini
  • 2 tablespoons caster sugar

Instructions

  • Spread out a sheet of baklava phyllo.
  • Sprinkle all around with melted butter.
  • On top lay down the second sheet.
  • Again sprinkle with melted butter.
  • On top lay down the third sheet.
  • This time, instead of butter, sprinkle with tahini, sugar and walnuts.
  • Then gently, using the shorter side make a long cigar looking roll. It should not be too tight of loose.
  • Continue till all the material is finished.
  • Then cut each roll to about five centimetre long pieces.
  • Then place all pieces in a tray with an oven paper. Cook in a preheated oven at 180° Celsius, until golden brown in all sides. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Let cool and sprinkle with caster sugar. Enjoy!
