Ingredients
- Fresh, dry sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp Sesame oil
- 4 Tbsp Homemade Tahini
- 2 Whole eggs
- 2 Tbsp Water
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 Cup (120g) Tahini
- 5 Eggs
- 1 Tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1-2 Tbsp Maple syrup
- Mixed nuts for topping
Instructions
- Make the Homemade Tahini: Toast fresh, dry sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat until they’re golden and aromatic. Let them cool before transferring to a food processor. Blend the seeds until they become a thick paste, and then gradually add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil until smooth.
- Prepare the Quick Flatbread:Â In a bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of your homemade tahini, 2 whole eggs, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons of water. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Cook the Flatbreads:Â Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a ladle of the batter into the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden. Flip it over and cook the other side until fully cooked. Repeat this process with the remaining batter.
- Make the Fluffy Protein Loaf: Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F). In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of tahini, 5 eggs, olive oil, baking powder, salt, and maple syrup if you like a hint of sweetness. Mix well until everything is combined.
- Bake the Loaf:Â Pour the mixture into a prepared loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Top with mixed nuts for an extra crunch. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for a bit before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice once it’s cool, and enjoy your high-protein sesame bread!
