Cuisine: Middle Eastern
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the tahini and eggs together until smooth and well combined, creating a creamy, uniform mixture.
- Add the baking powder and salt to the tahini-egg mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top surface.
- Generously sprinkle the sesame seeds over the entire surface of the batter, ensuring an even and dense seed coverage.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift the bread out and transfer to a wire rack.
- Allow the bread to cool completely for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing to ensure it maintains its structure.
- Slice and serve the bread warm or at room temperature, enjoying its nutty flavor and dense, moist texture.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality tahini for the best flavor and smoothest texture.
- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature to help create a more uniform batter.
- Don't skip the parchment paper – it makes removing the bread a breeze and prevents sticking.
- For extra toasting, sprinkle additional sesame seeds on top just before baking for a more intense nutty crust.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to help it maintain its structure and prevent crumbling.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
- For a flavor variation, try adding a pinch of za'atar or dried herbs to the batter for an extra flavor dimension.
