I have grown to appreciate tahini over the past couple of years. I love it in hummus and sauces, and I also have a pretty great tahini cookie recipe. So image my delight, as I was working on an Armenian menu for my book club post on The Sandcastle Girls, when I came upon tahini bread. I couldn’t wait to bake a batch of these tahini-filled sweet yeast breads topped with toasted sesame seeds. Delicious!

This easy white chocolate bread pudding comes together in one bowl and there is no need to make a separate sauce.

Bunuelos are flat fried sugar cinnamon sweets found in most Mexican bakeries. Bunuelos are also very addictive!

If you are a fan of apple fritters, this beignet recipe is for you! They are a little crunchy on the outside and have a light bready interior.
