A birthday loaf for a family member from New Zealand
A sourdough bread with Middle Eastern flavours. Tahini and molasses add a lovely depth to the taste of this bread.
If you have your own go-to sourdough recipe, you could try just adding the sesame and poppy seeds, tahini and grape molasses, it will be just lovely!
