Tahinopita

Tahinopita is a cherished traditional cake from Cyprus, celebrated for its distinctive sesame paste flavor. There are several methods to prepare this delightful treat, some recipes using chemical leaveners, others relying on yeast, and a few incorporating layers of phyllo dough.

One of the remarkable aspects of tahinopita is that most recipes exclude dairy, eggs, and oil. This makes it an excellent choice for those observing Lent or adhering to a vegan diet.

In Greek, the term "pita" is quite versatile, encompassing bread, cake, or pastry. Specifically, tahinopita refers to a sweet bread roll that resembles a tahini bread roll, delivering a deliciously nutty and subtly sweet flavor that's irresistibly appealing.
