Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 60 milliliters cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams sesame seeds
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture.
Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Gradually add the cold water to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until the dough begins to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about a 5mm thickness.
Cut the dough into squares of approximately 10x10 cm.
Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over each square, gently pressing them into the dough.
In a small bowl, beat together the egg yolk and milk to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash over the top of the pastries.
Transfer the sesame pastries to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Serve the sesame pastries warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
