Sesame Cookies Tutorial Recipe 奶油芝麻饼干 (中英食谱教程）

I love sesame seeds. These tiny seeds are a nutritional wonder and can boost our health greatly! It is not only loaded with essential minerals but also has a high level of antioxidants which fight free radicals thereby promoting our youthfulness (ladies, you will be glad to know this :p) and strengthening our immune system. 

Tapioca Sesame Buns 树薯面包

 

Tapioca Sesame Buns is the first recipe which I tried in 周淑玲老师 's latest recipe book. What attracted me to this recipe is, it does not use any yeast at all in this bread making. With the right technique in making the dough, the buns will rise and expand during baking. The dough is really sticky and seems impossible to handle by hands thus using a stand mixer with the flat beater attachment is the best. I am happy to bake it successfully on my first attempt by following the instructions to a T. The result is a tasty bun with a crispy outer layer and QQ texture inside. Black sesame seeds also contributed to the fragrance of the buns.

Baking Taitai's Black Sesame Buns with Cranberry Cream Cheese Filling

This is another recipe which I use the Tahini Black Sesame Spread. This spread was first used in making Black Sesame Cupcakes in my earlier post here. When black sesame is used as one of the ingredients to make the bread dough, the nutritional value will increase, so why not give it a try?

I love the fragrance and taste of black sesame and the many health benefits it provides for our body. As you can see from the chart below, it not only lowers blood cholesterol level and helps to maintain strong bones too.
