Ingredients You'll Need

Gather these simple ingredients to create your loaf:

1 cup tahini (well-stirred)
4 large eggs
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder (gluten-free if needed)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
Optional: sesame seeds for topping

Feel free to add herbs, spices, or a touch of sweetener if you prefer a different flavor profile.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the tahini, eggs, and vinegar until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until fully incorporated. The batter will be thick.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps it set properly.

Tips for the Best Results

Use fresh tahini: Make sure your tahini is well-mixed and not overly bitter. A good quality tahini will make a big difference.
Don't overmix: Stir just until the ingredients are combined to keep the bread tender.
Cool completely: Slicing while hot can cause the bread to crumble. Patience yields perfect slices.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze slices for longer storage.
