DUKKA - EGYPTIAN SPICE BLEND FOR BREAD DIPPING OR TOPPING

Dukka - Egyptian Spice Blend for Bread Dipping or Topping image

For ZWT #6. I got this recipe from Egyptdailynews.com site. It says that it is used for dipping bread after first dipping it in olive oil. I think it would make an interesting topping for various breads if it is left a little coarser.

4 ounces sesame seeds
3 ounces hazelnuts or 3 ounces roasted chickpeas

Toast the nuts and seeds before grinding them. This will bring out their flavor and make the dukkah more aromatic.
