- 1/2 cup tahini
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
for the tahini glaze
- 2 Tablespoons of tahini

- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet. Do not over mix! Transfer the batter to your prepare pan.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before removing from loaf pan.
