Sesame Seed Olive Oil Crackers
These Sesame Seed Olive Oil Crackers are made with just 5 ingredients and are in under 30 minutes.
Servings 60 crackers
Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds + more for topping
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 4-5 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Set aside 2 baking sheets.
- In a bowl combine flour, salt and sesame seeds stirring to combine.
- Add oil and 4 tablespoon of water. Stir to combine. Mixture will be crumbly, but should hold together when pressed with hand. Add remaining tablespoon of water if needed. Knead a couple of times to bring the dough together.
- Split dough into 2 pieces and form into disc shape. Place one disc between 2 sheets of parchment paper and using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to a thin sheet. About ⅛ of an inch in thickness. The thinner it is, the crispier the crackers will be.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut 1 inch squares or desired size. Do not separate the squares. You can remove the edge scrapes and roll again to create squares, if desired. I don't worry about this and just bake as is.
- Prick each cracker with a fork a couple of times and sprinkle with additional sesame seeds and salt if desired. Place parchment paper over crackers and use rolling pin to roll the seeds into the dough to help them stick better.
- Transfer crackers still on parchment paper to baking sheet. Complete this same process with the second disc of dough.
- Bake for 8 minutes and check for browning. The edges will bake and brown faster. Separate the crackers at this point. Remove crackers as the brown to your liking and continue to bake remaining crackers. Total bake time is about 12 -15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before storing in an air tight container.
