Pasteli (Sesame Bars) - Baking with Dimi

Pasteli (Sesame Bars) - Baking with Dimi
Recipe
Ingredients:
- 5 Cups Sesame Seeds
- 1 & 1/2 Cups Honey
- 2/3 Cup White Sugar
- 2 Cups Raw Almonds
Method:
Add all ingredients to a sauce pan and cook over medium heat continuously stirring until the sesame & almonds toast and the mixture thicken and becomes golden.
Take out a small portion and allow it to cool to check the consistency.
Once done, oil a chopping board and tip the mixture out onto the board and spread it out (mixture is very hot so take caution).
Cover with glad wrap and use a rolling pin to roll it out to the desired thickness. Once done allow it to cool slightly before removing the cling film and cutting it into pieces.
Allow it to set completely and then enjoy.
Chopping block measurements: 34.5cm x 34.5 cm

This sound lovely 🥰 I’m going to grocery this morning so I can make them today 😃

Thank you so much. They’re beautiful! It will take me many times of making it to get as good as you. I only had peanuts instead of almonds so I added it to the sesame seeds. I just put mine in a baking dish with parchment paper. Let’s see how it turns out.

Dear Demi, can't wait to make these. Just a small thing, I understand its 2/3rd sugar, but you say 2 and 1/3 cup. Thank you for all your fabulous recipes. I had the pleasure to visit Greece some years ago, I lived on your fabulous frappes.

I am from India.. thanks for the recipe. If I would like to sell in the market. What would be the shelf life ma'am? Can it be stored for 6 months?

I would never advise microwaving honey nor heating in pan directly over heat, as this will kill it’s healthy benefits.
