•1 small coffee cup ouzo or Zivania (Cypriot pomace brandy)
•2 cups orange juice
For the Filling
•1 cup olives
•½ cup fresh mint
•1 tablespoon dried mint
•2 large dry onions
For the Coating
•1 ½ cups boiled sesame seeds
METHOD
1. In a bowl, or in the mixer bowl, place all the ingredients for the dough and knead very well. Cover and set aside for 1 hour to rest. In a blender, grind all the ingredients for the filling.
2. Take a little dough, roll it out with a rolling pin into a rectangular sheet, and place the filling on one edge (in a line). Roll it up and dip the rolled dough into the sesame seeds. Roll it around so it's fully coated. Place it on your work surface and roll a little more to make sure the sesame seeds stick well. With a sharp knife, score the rolled dough in 3 places. Place non-stick baking paper on a baking tray and put the rolled dough on it. Repeat the same process with the remaining ingredients.
3. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 45 minutes.
