What is Sweet tahini pide?
Sweet tahini pide is a traditional Turkish sweet flatbread made from yeasted dough topped or filled with tahini and sugar, then baked. It has a soft centre, often with lightly crisp edges, and a deep, toasted sesame flavour beneath the sweetness.
In Türkiye, it is commonly enjoyed at breakfast or as a bakery snack with tea, especially while still warm. Elsewhere, it makes a distinctive sweet bread to share with tea or coffee. The dough and sugar make it carbohydrate-rich, while tahini contributes fat and some protein, so it is fairly filling. Pair it with an unsweetened drink, or share a piece if you prefer a smaller treat.
