Will peanut butter work as a tahini substitute in yeasted dough?
Yes, at 1:1. Sweeter and nuttier. Different flavour but same texture role. Bake-test before scaling up.
Best Tahini Substitutes for Yeasted Breads
Prioritize substitutions that protect gluten development and fermentation performance. Bread dough is less forgiving than quick bakes. Structure and fermentation can collapse with poor substitutions.
Can I make bread without tahini?
Yes. Start with Peanut Butter at 1:1, then adjust liquid or bake time in small steps after a test batch.
