Frequently Asked Questions About Tahini triangle pastry
What is a Tahini triangle pastry?
A Tahini triangle pastry is a baked pastry folded into a triangle around a filling made with tahini and sugar. Recipes vary in the dough and folding method, so the texture can range from soft and bready to flaky.
Is a Tahini triangle pastry sweet or savoury?
A Tahini triangle pastry is usually sweet because its tahini filling includes sugar. Some homemade versions use less sugar, but it is generally served as a sweet pastry rather than as a savoury meal.
How do you make a Tahini triangle pastry?
To make a Tahini triangle pastry, spread a tahini-and-sugar mixture over rolled dough, fold or roll the dough, and shape it into a triangle. Seal the edges, brush the top if desired, and bake until golden.
Where does the Tahini triangle pastry come from?
The Tahini triangle pastry is associated with Turkish-style home baking, where tahini-filled pastries are commonly enjoyed with tea. The exact triangular shape and recipe can vary between bakeries and households.
What should you serve with a Tahini triangle pastry?
A Tahini triangle pastry is often served with black tea or coffee. Since it is sweet and rich, plain yogurt or fresh fruit can also make a simple accompaniment without adding another heavy dessert.
Why does the filling leak out of a Tahini triangle pastry?
The filling can leak from a Tahini triangle pastry if the dough is stretched too thin, the edges are not sealed, or too much filling is added. Leave a clear border around the dough and press the seams firmly closed.
Can you make a Tahini triangle pastry with puff pastry?
Yes, you can make a Tahini triangle pastry with puff pastry for a flakier, quicker version. Use a modest amount of filling and seal the edges well, since loose tahini can escape as the pastry puffs.
How should you store a Tahini triangle pastry?
Store a Tahini triangle pastry after it has cooled completely, in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Sealing it while warm traps steam and can make the pastry soggy.
Can you freeze a Tahini triangle pastry?
Yes, a Tahini triangle pastry can be frozen once fully cooled. Freeze the pieces separately before packing them in an airtight container, then thaw and warm them briefly in the oven for a fresher texture.
Does a Tahini triangle pastry make you gain weight?
A Tahini triangle pastry does not cause weight gain on its own, but its tahini-and-sugar filling makes it an energy-dense pastry. Eating large portions often can make it easier to take in more energy than you use.

What is Tahini triangle pastry?
Tahini triangle pastry is a Turkish baked treat made by filling or layering dough with tahini and sugar, then folding it into a triangle. It brings together the sesame paste’s deep, toasted flavour and a sweet filling, and is commonly found in Turkish bakeries.
The pastry is usually golden outside, with a soft, sometimes layered centre. In Turkey it is enjoyed at breakfast or with tea; elsewhere, it makes a handy bakery snack or an accompaniment to coffee. It is relatively high in energy and fat, with plenty of carbohydrates, so a smaller piece alongside unsweetened tea or coffee can make for a less rich snack.
