A simple bread recipe with only 2 main ingredients — tahini and eggs. The addition of sweetener, jam or honey gives a more “cakey” taste, and masks some of the bitterness. For a more savoury option, skip the sweetener and add dries herbs (like oregano or basil). Serve toasted with cheese or butter.
INGREDIENTS (2 servings)
- 2 large eggs
- 60g tahini
- 20g double-fruit jam
- 4.5g baking powder
- 1.5g sweetener (optional)
- pinch salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl
- Mixture should be runny (not doughy)
- Bake at 350°F/180°C for about 20 min
- Let cool and slice
- Serve toasted with butter.
NOTES
- Baking times will vary depending on oven type, mold shape and material. Silicon pans will take longer than aluminum.
- Bread will rise in the oven, so be sure to leave space.
- Use a jam that is mostly fruit (not mostly sugar). I like apricot, but the choice is yours. My top picks:
- Smucker’s Double Fruit Apricot
- PC Blue Menu Twice the Fruit Spread
- Trader Joe’s Organic Reduced Sugar Apricot Preserves
- Could substitute jam with 6g of honey.
BONUS TIPS
- For lower carb option, eliminate jam/honey.
- For more savoury bread, eliminate stevia and replace with herbs (oregano, fennel seeds).
- Add sunflower or sesame seeds for texture.
