Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour I use freshly ground hard white wheat, plus extra if the dough is sticky
  • 1/2 TBS baking powder
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 TBS oil
  • 1 TBS salt
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Prepare baking sheets by spreading 2 TBS sesame seeds on un-oiled pans. This prevents the crackers from sticking and makes them crisp up very nicely.
  • Combine ingredients in your stand mixer then and knead the dough for 3 minute with a dough hook.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. My dough was so sticky that I had to add more flour to get it to work.
  • Roll the dough out into a rectangle, about 1/16 inch thick. Using a fork, prick the dough all over to release trapped air and keep the dough flat.
  • Using a pizza wheel or sharp knife, cut the dough into 2-inch squares. I used a ruler to get mine even, but you do not have to be so OCD.
  • Transfer crackers to baking sheet with a spatula.
  • Bake 15-20 minutes until crackers are light brown and firm to the touch.
  • Cool completely. Store in cookie tins. ENJOY!
