On cold winter nights, when everyone in your family is sneezing and sniffling, why not serve this treat? The superfood flax may help soothe sore noses.
4 tablespoons flax seeds
3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
3 tablespoons white sesame seeds
2 tablespoons sesame butter (see note)
4 tablespoons Haddar Tahini
4 tablespoons Gefen Honey
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
3 tablespoons water
1 recipe basic yeast dough
In a food processor, grind the flax with the sunflower seeds. Mix in the sesame seeds, sesame butter, tahini, honey, and sugar.
Slowly pour water into the mixture, stirring and adding water until it has a smooth, creamy texture. (This cream can be stored for up to four days in the refrigerator.)
Roll the dough into a rectangle, 12×16 inches (30×40 centimeters). Spread a generous layer of halvah cream on the dough.
Roll the dough jelly-roll style and slice lengthwise. Press the top ends of the two strips together and twist them into a screw-like shape.
To make a braid, double the recipe, prepare two rolls and slice them in half. Use three of those halves to form a braid. Knot the fourth strip for a small personal-sized cake.
Let the cakes rise, glaze them, and bake.
