Makes an excellent accompaniment to hummus or other spread. I just discovered that I love dipping them into garlic/onion flavored cream cheese. I also love them with soups. Sesame oil gives these crackers a strong, nutty taste. If you want a milder cracker, substitute shortening for some of the oil. Yield 6 dozen crackers. (From King Arthur Flour's Baking Companion) Ingredients:
1/2 cup sesame seeds, toasted (2 1/2 oz.) |
1 cup pastry flour (5 oz.) |
1 cup whole wheat flour (5 1/4 oz.) |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup sesame oil |
1/2-3/4 cup water |
Directions:
1. Toast the sesame seeds in a 350F oven for 10 to 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
2. In a large bowl, combine seeds, flours and salt.
3. Add oil, stir until the mixture comes together.
4. Add just enough water (a tablespoon at a time) to form a workable dough.
5. Divide dough into three equal portions.
6. Roll one portion, until it's very thin (about 1/16 inch thick).
7. Cut dough into desired shape (s)- use a wine glass/cookie cutter or a pizza wheel.
8. Transfer them to parchment-lined cookie sheets.
9. Bake the crackers for 25-30 mins, until they're beginning to brown around the edges.
10. Remove them from oven and transfer to a rack to cool.
