About Sesame seed bread roll

Sesame seed bread rolls are soft and fluffy rolls typically topped with sesame seeds, a staple in many cuisines worldwide, including Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Western baking traditions. These rolls combine enriched bread dough, often made with wheat flour, yeast, and milk or water, and a nutty flavor from sesame seeds. Nutritionally, sesame seeds are a rich source of healthy fats (primarily polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats), plant-based proteins, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. Meanwhile, enriched wheat flour contributes carbohydrates for energy, though it may have a lower fiber content if refined. Sesame seed bread rolls are calorically dense due to their combination of fats and carbohydrates, offering roughly 200-250 calories per roll depending on size and ingredients.

Health Benefits

• Supports bone health due to the high calcium content in sesame seeds (1 tablespoon of sesame seeds contains about 88 mg of calcium).
• May promote heart health from the unsaturated fats found in sesame seeds, which help regulate cholesterol levels.
• Provides energy and satiety through its carbohydrate content, which is complemented with essential minerals like iron for oxygen transport and magnesium for muscle function.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat, sesame seeds, milk (if dairy is used in dough)

Suitable for: Vegetarian diets, lacto-ovo vegetarian diets (if milk/eggs are included)

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diets, nut-allergic individuals who may react to sesame seeds, low-carb or ketogenic diets due to high carbohydrate content

Selection and Storage

Store sesame seed bread rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat gently to restore softness before serving.

Can I eat sesame seed bread roll on a keto diet?

Sesame seed bread rolls are not suitable for a strict keto diet as they typically contain 20-30 grams of carbohydrates per roll, which is too high for maintaining ketosis. However, some keto-friendly recipes for sesame seed bread rolls are available that use low-carb flour alternatives.

What are the health benefits and concerns of sesame seed bread rolls?

Sesame seed bread rolls provide a source of fiber, healthy fats, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc from the sesame seeds. However, they are generally high in refined carbohydrates and can be calorie-dense (around 200-250 calories per roll), so portion control is important for those monitoring caloric intake or blood sugar levels.

What is the recommended serving size for sesame seed bread rolls?

A single sesame seed bread roll, weighing about 70-90 grams, is typically considered one serving. Pairing it with a source of protein, such as eggs or lean meat, can make it a more balanced meal without overloading on carbohydrates.

How does sesame seed bread roll compare to whole-grain bread?

Sesame seed bread rolls are generally less nutritious than whole-grain bread, as they are often made with refined flour, which has lower fiber content. However, the sesame seeds provide additional healthy fats and minerals that plain white or whole-grain bread without seeds may lack.
