Whole Wheat Sesame Crackers
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 6 tbsp. sesame seeds
- 1 cup water
- 3 tbsp. canola
- safflower oil
- 1 tsp. fine sea salt
- 2-1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp. non-aluminum baking powder
- Position two racks in the center and the bottom third of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350F.
- Spread 2 tablespoons sesame seeds on each of three unoiled baking sheets.
- This will prevent the crackers from sticking and will give them a delicious crisp bottom.
- Put the water, oil, and salt in a small bowl until combined.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup sesame seeds.
- Add the water-oil mixture and mix to form a rough dough.
- Knead the dough in the bowl to form a ball, and turn out onto a lightly floured work surface.
- Lightly flour a rolling pin.
- Roll the dough out into a 22- by 14-inch rectangle, about 1/16-inch thick.
- Using a fork, prick the dough all over to release trapped air and keep the dough flat.
- With a pizza wheel or sharp knife, cut the dough into 2-inch squares or other shapes, or cut shapes with a 2-inch cookie cutter.
- Using a spatula, transfer the crackers to the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake until the crackers are light brown and firm to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes, switching the positions of the sheets halfway through the baking time.
- When the first two sheets are finished, remove them, and bake the third one as directed.
- Cool completely.
