Ingredients

  • 4 slices of spelt sourdough bread ancient grain bread
  • Melted ghee for brushing
  • 2 tablespoons - Freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Lemon zest, grated, 1 teaspoon
  • 1 teaspoon plus additional for garnish - Ground sumac
  • Raw honey, maple syrup, or agave, 1 tablespoon sattvic sweetener
  • Coconut oil for spreading

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to create an ideal toasting environment for the bread.
  • Take four slices of premade spelt sourdough bread, or your preferred ancient grain bread, and lay them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Lightly brush each slice of bread with melted ghee, ensuring both sides are coated to impart a rich, nutty flavor to the toast.
  • Bake the ghee-brushed slices in the preheated oven for approximately 4-5 minutes, then flip each slice and continue to bake for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the bread reaches a golden brown crispness.
  • While the bread is toasting, prepare the Moroccan lemon mixture by combining 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of grated lemon zest, 1 teaspoon of ground sumac, and a sweetening agent of your choice: 1 tablespoon of raw honey, maple syrup, or agave, in a small bowl.
  • Whisk the lemon mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and the sweetener is fully dissolved.
  • Once the bread is toasted to your satisfaction, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on a wire rack for 1-2 minutes for optimal texture.
  • Spread a thin layer of coconut oil on each slice of the toasted bread to add a subtle, sweet aroma and additional moisture to the dish.
  • Generously brush the lemon and sumac mixture onto the coconut oil layered toasts, ensuring the surface is evenly covered to imbue each bite with the bright and tangy Moroccan-inspired flavors.
