Method

2. 2Knead in the butter until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, then cover and rest until slightly puffy.
3. 3Combine tahini and honey into a thick paste, then spread it over the rolled dough in a thin even layer.
4. 4Fold the dough, slice into strips, twist each strip, and arrange on a lined baking tray.
5. 5Proof the twists until noticeably lighter and swollen, then bake until golden and fragrant.
6. 6Brush the hot twists with pomegranate molasses and scatter pomegranate seeds over the top before serving.

Tips

• If the dough feels sticky, rest it 10 minutes before kneading again instead of adding too much flour.
• Warm pomegranate molasses slightly so it brushes on in a thinner, glossy layer.
