Ingredients Overview
*The full recipe is in the recipe card below!
Tahini: Made with 100% sesame seeds ground into a paste. Tahini here adds a satisfying richness and a gentle, nutty, savory taste that pairs so well with the nuts and seeds. Look for tahini that is smooth and creamy.
Tahini that I used and liked: Soom, Baron’s, and Seeds + Mill.
Date syrup (Silan): A super healthy natural sweetener that is made with dates. It gives the bread a beautiful brown color. Other options are to use honey or brown sugar.
Baking soda: Baking soda is what is going to make our bread rise. Make sure to put the bread in the oven immediately after adding the baking soda.
Pro-Tips
Mix the ingredients well: To ensure a smooth and even texture, mix the ingredients thoroughly until you have a smooth and homogeneous batter.
Allow the bread to cool before slicing: After removing the bread from the oven, let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help the bread firm up and prevent it from falling apart when you slice it.
Store the bread properly: To keep your tahini bread fresh, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days (most likely, it will be gone long before that).
FAQs
I used a small loaf pan 5.25″D x 9.25″W x 2.75″H. Grease and line with parchment paper; this will help your bread cook evenly and prevent sticking.
Yes, two tablespoons of light brown sugar.

What kind of tahini do you use,?
I buy my tahini from Amazon – Baron
I am sensitive to egg white. Can I make this recipe using Flax eggs?
Not for this recipe…they are too many eggs…sorry
Very interesting flavor. I liked it and the texture was very bread-like.
The taste is awsome but my bread turned green. I know it’s a natural reaction from the baking soda. Can this change of color be avoided?
Did you use sunflower seeds? They can cause the green color because of their reaction to the baking soda.
I love it!
