### Ingredients


#### For the Dough:

- **3 cups all-purpose flour**

- **1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast**

- **1/2 cup granulated sugar**

- **1 teaspoon salt**

- **1 teaspoon ground cinnamon**

- **1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg**

- **1/2 cup milk** (warm)

- **1/4 cup water** (warm)

- **1/4 cup tahini**

- **2 large eggs**


#### For the Chocolate Swirl:

- **1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips** (or chopped chocolate)

- **2 tablespoons cocoa powder**

- **2 tablespoons granulated sugar**

- **1/4 teaspoon salt**


#### For Topping (optional):

- **Sesame seeds** (for garnish)


### Instructions


1. **Prepare the Dough**:

   - In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.

   - In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, warm water, tahini, and eggs until smooth.

   - Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.


2. **Knead the Dough**:

   - Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.


3. **First Rise**:

   - Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.


4. **Prepare the Chocolate Filling**:

   - In a small bowl, mix together the chocolate chips, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.


5. **Shape the Bread**:

   - Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle about 12x18 inches.

   - Evenly sprinkle the chocolate mixture over the dough.


6. **Roll and Swirl**:

   - Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.

   - Place the rolled dough seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.


7. **Second Rise**:

   - Cover with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.


8. **Preheat Oven**: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).


9. **Bake**:

   - Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

   - If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top during the last few minutes of baking for added texture.


10. **Cool and Serve**:

    - Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.

    - Enjoy your Spiced Tahini Chocolate Swirl Bread as a delightful snack or dessert!


### Tips

- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruit to the chocolate filling.

- This bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or frozen for longer storage.
