Dukkah is traditionally a middle Eastern spice blend consisting of a mixture of herbs, nuts and spices. It is typically used as a dip with bread and olive oil. It can also be used to sprinkle the salads, top the soups and to season meat. Here I am using it as the filling and topping to dress up the pumpkin bread loaf. If stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, dukkah will keep for at least 1 month. So you might want to double the recipe and make enough to keep around.

- For the dukkah, spread the hazelnuts over a baking tray and toast in 180C/350F preheated oven for 5 minutes or until toasted. Rub the hazelnuts between a clean tea towel to remove as much skin as possible. Place the toasted hazelnuts in the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until golden. Add to the bowl with the hazelnuts.
- Place coriander, cumin and peppercorns in a dry frypan over high heat for 1 minute or until aromatic. Transfer to a mortar and pestle. Pound until finely crushed (alternatively, use a coffee or spice grinder). Add the spices and salt to the hazelnut mixture and mix well.
- Line a 30cmx12cm loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Roll out the dough into a 24x35cm rectangle. Spread the peanut sauce over and sprinkle the dukkah, reserving a tablespoon for the topping, over the peanut sauce. Roll it up from the shorter end and pinch the sides together. Place the roll seam side up and use a sharp knife to cut the roll lengthwise in half along the seam. Tightly weave the two pieces together, leaving the cut sides exposed. Place it into the prepared pan.
- Cover with a plastic film or kitchen towel and let rise until doubled for about an hour. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Sprinkle the top with the reser

Loving this "golden" pumpkin bread topped with dukkah. I only tried using dukkah once, as crust/coating for baked chicken breast strips.
I tried dukkah once and I love it. Your bake looks gorgeously rustic.
Ooh that sounds really interesting and delicious too. What a gorgeous combination of flavours and the swirl running through the loaf looks terrific.
