Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 15 grams Sesame seeds
- 3 grams Sea salt
- 1 gram Ground black pepper
- 30 milliliters Cold water
- 1 piece Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 10 grams Extra sesame seeds (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, sesame seeds, sea salt, and ground black pepper.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until the texture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Drizzle in the cold water a little at a time while mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix; the dough should be firm but pliable.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thin sheet, about 2–3 mm thick.
Using a knife or a fluted pastry cutter, cut the dough into small cracker shapes of your choice (squares, rectangles, or irregular freeform).
Transfer the crackers to the prepared baking tray, leaving a bit of space between each piece.
Brush the tops of the crackers lightly with the beaten egg wash, then sprinkle with extra sesame seeds for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving or storing.
Store in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain freshness.
