Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups water
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sesame seeds, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the olive oil and honey to the dry mixture, and use a fork or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together into a cohesive ball that is slightly tacky but not sticky. You may not need all the water.
Divide the dough into two equal portions for easier handling. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out one portion of dough as thin as possible, about 1/16 inch thick.
Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into small squares or rectangles to form the crackers. Transfer the pieces to the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between them.
Sprinkle the crackers with coarse sea salt for extra flavor, pressing gently to help the salt adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container for up to one week.
