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 (affiliate links): 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 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.
Sunflower seeds can cause a green color because of their reaction to the baking soda.

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?![4 stars](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAEACAkQBADs=)
Did you use sunflower seeds? They can cause the green color because of their reaction to the baking soda.
