What is Sesame triangle pastry?
Sesame triangle pastry is a sweet, triangular piece of pastry coated with sesame seeds. The exact dough and texture can vary by recipe, but the toasted, nutty flavour of sesame gives it a distinctive contrast with the sweetness of the pastry. It is best understood as a bakery-style treat rather than a savoury sesame bread.
Enjoy it with tea or coffee as an afternoon snack, or serve it alongside other small pastries when sharing sweets. Sesame triangle pastry is relatively energy-dense, with some fibre from the sesame and pastry. One medium piece is about 60 g, so a piece alongside an unsweetened drink can make a satisfying small treat.
