Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 45 grams Sesame seeds (white or a mix of white and black)
- 30 milliliters Olive oil
- 70 milliliters Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Honey or maple syrup (optional for a hint of sweetness)
- 1 teaspoons Salt flakes or additional sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sesame seeds, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the sesame seeds.
Add the olive oil, water, and optional honey or maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon until the mixture forms a dough.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough into a ball. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out very thinly, around 1-2 mm thick.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Alternatively, you can roll out the dough directly on a sheet of parchment paper for easier handling.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into small squares, rectangles, or your desired shape. Leave the shapes as is; no need to separate them on the sheet as they won’t expand much.
Sprinkle the top of the crackers with additional sesame seeds or flaky salt for extra crunch and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Break the crackers apart along the cut lines and store them in an airtight container for up to one week.
