Making your own crackers isn't hard! And it's fun. And delicious. Make it once or more times, depending on how many people are snacking. Then just pair with a yummy dip like this Peanut Butter Hummus and get munching.
Homemade crackers during the holidays is great family/kid activity, as well as a nice touch for get-togethers.
Notes: Olive oil is extra virgin.
SESAME CRACKERS
Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp. fine sea salt, 1/3 cup lukewarm water, 2 tbsp. olive oil, 2 tsp. sesame seeds, 1 tsp. coarse salt.
Serves 2-3.
1. Preheat and prep: Preheat oven to 475*. Lay a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and brush with 1 tbsp. olive oil. Set aside. (My fave silicone basting brushes here.)
2. Make cracker dough: Mix together flour, water and fine sea salt until shaggy. Sprinkle a work surface with flour. Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes, until you have a smooth ball. Place back into the mixing bowl and cover with a dish towel. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
3. Roll and bake: Roll out the dough to 1/16 of an inch (about 11 x 12). It will be thin, but not see-through. Take your time if the dough snaps back on you--you'll get it. Gently roll the dough onto the rolling pin, and position it onto the parchment paper. Brush with remaining olive oil, sprinkle over sesame seeds. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden all over with bubbles. The edges will be slightly darker. Cool, then break into pieces.
