This Banana, Almond and Tahini Bread is a baked delight that produces incredible flavors to share! With its tempting aroma that fills the kitchen and its spongy texture that melts in your mouth, the bread is a masterpiece in homemade baking. There are some ingredients that can be optional, such as sesame seeds or even tahini (in the recipe I give an alternative replacement) but in case you have all the ingredients as indicated, you will get more than just a simple mixture of baked ingredients.
This time I also wanted to place one of the three bananas that the recipe includes on top to give it a different touch; the texture changes and it feels very delicious when you taste it.
One of the wonders of bread is its versatility. It can be enjoyed at any time of day – from a comforting breakfast accompanied by a steaming cup of coffee, to an indulgent dessert after a hearty meal. Plus, it’s the perfect canvas to experiment with additional flavors, such as nuts, fresh fruit or even a touch of liquor.
Always remember that when using this type of mold, in some ovens it is difficult for some people to get it completely cooked in the center, therefore you should always check with a knife or skewer stick in the center to see if it is fully baked, this stick or knife should come out dry, if not, then you should cover it with aluminum foil to continue cooking and with this you will not let it burn on top.
