How to make Lebanese Seed Loaf

Why cooks start here

Lebanese Seed Loaf is cooked the way Lebanese home tables cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a lebanese family cook actually puts it on the table.

Lebanese Seed Loaf is a staple at home tables, where it is made with an intuitive hand rather than strict measurements. This loaf is often found during family meals, where sharing is the essence of dining. The recipe is passed down through generations, each baker adding their own touch, but always maintaining the core simplicity that defines its charm. The loaf offers a crusty exterior with a tender, airy crumb. The sesame seeds provide a gentle nuttiness that complements the subtle saltiness, while the generous use of fat ensures a rich, satisfying bite. It's a humble yet essential part of the Lebanese dining experience, best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
