Help: Will Adding Lecithin by Replacing Fat Source for Raw Sunbutter or Tahini in Sandwich Bread and Rolls

Hello I wanted to know If anyone knows how effective doing this exchange would be for expressing those lecithin emulsifying abilties and the effects on texture and freshness. I could add pure granulated lecithin, however for the people I'm making these sandwich rolls and bread for would be confused and hesitant of me adding that to the bread. It is appropriate because the bread does stale sooner than ideal.

I'd imagine the taste would change and that's just fine and enjoyable. 

To do this what I had in mind was to replace grams of fat for each other so a batch has 30g of butter or lard for 14-16 rolls, So I would add 56g of raw tahini(ground sesame seeds) or 53g raw sunbutter(ground sunflower seeds) to get 30grams of fat.

sunbutter:

Please correct me if I have made a mistake mathmatically

I make white sandwich bread, french sandwich rolls, and mexican bolillo rolls which is the fat example I layed out above.

is in your sources?  An egg yolk might be simpler.

Thought of an egg yolk first but the concentrations dont seem enough for 1kg white flour I'm trying .5% to 1% so 1gram lecithin.
