Put 4 cups of flour into a mixing bowl.

Mix 1/4 cup of water with 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar, let sit for 5 minutes.

Combine melted butter, 1 cup of milk, and 1/3 cup of olive oil.

Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture, then add eggs slowly.

Use a dough hook to mix for about 10 minutes at medium speed.

Oil a bowl to prevent sticking, then cover the dough and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size.

Prepare the filling by mixing 1 cup of tahini, 3/4 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Roll out the dough into a thin circle, spread the filling, and roll it up.

Divide the rolled dough into 12 pieces, shape into coils, and let rest for 30 to 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Brush the tops with a mixture of 1 tablespoon of molasses and 1 egg yolk, then sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
