Instructies
In a medium-size bowl, combine the water, agave, and yeast.
Let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy.
If it doesn't foam, start over with fresh yeast.
In a large-size bowl, combine the bread flour, whole wheat flour, and salt.
Stir the tahini into the yeast mixture.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Stir well until combined.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes, until smooth and pliable, adding more flour as needed.
Shape into a ball.
Lightly coat a large-size bowl with oil, then place the dough in the bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
Let rise until doubled in size, about 60 to 90 minutes.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal portions.
Shape the dough into rolls.
Place on parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on top of a baking sheet.
Loosely cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let rise for another 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C, or gas mark 5).
Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 24 minutes, or until golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
