I like to toast sesame seeds first, whenever I want to use them in recipes. Prepared that way, sesame release that unique flavor, that make cakes irresistible to eat.
Also, toasted sesame have wide range of use: as ingredient in cakes and bakery products, for seasoning salads or main courses.
It is quick and easy to toast them and this will improve recipe results immensely!
Here are step by step how to toast sesame seeds on stove instructions:
- Add the sesame seeds to a dry, small pan in thin layer
- Heat it to a medium heat, stirring it constantly for about 3-4 minutes
- When sesame seeds starts to pop and turns light golden brown, remove it from the heat and pour into a bowl to cool down
- Grind it in a food processor roughly to get mixture of grounded and whole seeds (this is optional)
If you like to prepare larger amount of toasted sesame, repeat steps 1 to 3 as many times as you like and store cooled toasted sesame seeds in a jar.
Be careful to remove sesame from the heat before it became dark brown, because it’ll be to bitter.
