I tried some delicious bread from Asda, I think it was called Tiger bread. I noticed it has sesame oil in it. I usually make my own bread with my breadmaker, does anyone know how much sesame oil I will need to add instead of the 15gr. of margarine I usally use? Also, where can I buy sesame oil. Many thanks.
Only a few drops. Sesame oil is extremely strong and aromatic. I use it in stir fries, but only use a couple of drops on top of my tablespoon of vegetable oil. The same thing applies when I make balsamic sesame dressings. I use olive oil as the base, then add two drops of sesame oil.
If you taste the oil by itself, you�ll find it to be almost bitter tasting. This will help to serve as a guide in discovering your own preferred strength.
You should be able to find sesame oil in most supermarkets. Along with the olive oils etc. Sainsburys do a toasted sesame oil for �1.05 a bottle. Failing that try a chinese/oriental supermarket, depending on where you live these will be plentiful or difficult to find!!
