Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Whole wheat flour
- 30 grams Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional for seasoning)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Neutral vegetable oil (e.g., canola or sunflower oil)
- 5 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sesame seeds, baking powder, salt, sugar, paprika (if using), and black pepper.
Drizzle in vegetable oil and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly with a fork or your hands until the dough comes together. It should be firm but not sticky.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough out into a rectangle about 6–7 mm (1/4 inch) thick.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into thin strips approximately 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) wide and 7 cm (3 inches) long.
Carefully transfer the strips onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the sesame sticks are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the sesame sticks cool completely on a wire rack.
Serve the sesame sticks alongside your favorite soup, whether it’s tomato, butternut squash, or a hearty lentil soup. Enjoy!
