Tahini Bread Rolls

As promised, here is the recipe for these tasty tahini bread rolls. I use these to make little burgers with my chicken or veggie patties and herb mayo (recipe to come) or as a side for a meal and they are great!! You can alter them slightly to create sweet or savoury rolls but this recipe is for a simple versatile bun.

Equipment

- Glass bowl
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Baking paper
- Baking tray

Ingredients

- 1/3 cup + 1Tbsp hulled tahini
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 Tbsp almond butter
- 1 Tbsp honey (can use other sweetener)

Optional extras:
- Sesame seeds
- herbs (chives, parsley)

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.
2. Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix with a spoon until evenly combined.
**The textre should be quite thick and sticky
3. Line oven tray with baking paper.
4. Use a spoon to scoop your dough into desired amounts and position on baking paper to allow space for expanding.
5. Sprinkle some herbs and sesame seeds onto the top of the bun.
6. Place in oven for 15 minutes. Check to see if they are cooked. If not, cook for no longer than 5 more minutes.
7. Allow to cool before serving or just eat hot. Either way is fine :)

Pretty quick and easy to prepare. I have experimented with unhulled tahini as well as other nut butters but it doesn't work. The buns crumble and fall apart. I have also used more honey and added some berries to make a sweet snack and these have worked well. Experiment and have fun making new snacks. You can also make pretzels by rolling out the dough into thin strips and cooking. Go experiment and see what you can come up with.
