This is not a story about, the beloved Middle Eastern shop on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. But I’m going to start by talking about Sahadi’s, where I used to shop weekly, back when I lived a few blocks from the store. Most Saturdays, I’d stop in for bulk bin nuts and dried fruits, spices, and tubs of hummus and labneh. This habit continued for years before I realized that one of the best breakfasts in Brooklyn was sold literally next door.
Eventually my then-coworker Belle tipped me off to the 89-year-old Syrian bakery’s tahini bread, a dense, dimpled round with just three ingredients: flour, sugar, and tahini. It has become one of my favorite breakfasts, ideal with a cup of black tea or coffee. It’s lightly sweetened but not super sweet—the nutty sesame flavor still stands out—and rich from the tahini but not a butter bomb.
This still isn’t a story about Sahadi’s, but I do want to encourage you to go there—not for the nuts and fruits and hummus, but also because right next door is Damascus, a wonderful bakery selling the most wonderful tahini bread.
Recipe? Or one that’s close?
