Sesame seeds are small, flat seeds with a delicate, nutty flavour and a subtle crunch. Widely used in both sweet and savoury dishes around the world, they are a versatile ingredient that can enhance texture and taste in a variety of recipes.
In baking, sesame seeds are commonly sprinkled on top of breads, rolls, and crackers to create a golden, crisp finish. They can also be incorporated into biscuit and pastry doughs, or used as a decorative topping for both sweet and savoury bakes.
Uses:
Sprinkle on top of bread, rolls, or savoury pastries before baking
Mix into granola, cereal bars, or crackers
Use in biscuits, energy bites, or sesame snaps
Add to salads or stir-fries for a crunchy garnish
Directions for Use: Sesame seeds can be used raw or toasted. Toasting them briefly in a dry pan over medium heat will bring out their nutty flavour—just stir frequently and watch closely to avoid burning. They can be added directly to doughs or sprinkled on top of baked goods before baking.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to keep them fresh and flavourful.
