Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup plain flour / all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling out
- 1/4 tsp cooking salt (kosher salt)
- 1 tbsp white sesame seeds
- 1/3 cup water (just regular tap water)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp white sesame seeds (for sprinkling)
- 1/2 tsp salt flakes (for sprinkling)
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F (180°C fan-forced).
- In a bowl, mix flour, 1 tbsp sesame seeds, and 1/4 tsp salt using a spatula. Make a well in the center and pour in the water and olive oil. Stir with the handle of the spatula until combined.
- Lightly flour the counter. Scrape out the dough and knead a few times to form a ball. Divide in half.
- Roll one half into a 3mm / 1/8″ thin oval shape. Place on parchment paper on a cutting board.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 tbsp sesame seeds and 1/4 tsp salt flakes. Roll thinner to 2mm / 1/12″.
- Cut into 5cm / 2″ squares using a pizza cutter or knife. Leave pieces as they are on the paper. Repeat with the second half of the dough.
- Transfer paper with cut dough to baking trays. Spray with olive oil.
- Bake both trays for 12 minutes. Then remove and rearrange to ensure even browning. Bake another 8–10 minutes until all pieces are light golden.
- Cool crackers on the trays for about 20 minutes. Serve with dips or cheese platters.
Notes
- Thinner crackers (2mm) will yield a crispier texture.
- Use a pizza cutter for clean, even cuts.
- Don’t move the pieces after cutting; they’re too delicate when thin.
- Adjust bake time as needed based on your oven’s hot spots.
