Directions
-
Position two racks in the center and the bottom third of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (177ðC).
-
Spread 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds on each of three unoiled baking sheets to prevent sticking and add crispness.
-
In a small bowl, combine water, oil, and salt until well mixed.
-
Stir 1/2 cup of sesame seeds into the water-oil mixture.
-
Add the wet mixture to the flour and baking powder, mixing to form a rough dough.
-
Knead the dough in the bowl to form a ball, then turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface.
-
Lightly flour a rolling pin and roll the dough out into a 22- by 14-inch rectangle, about 1/16-inch thick.
-
Using a fork, prick the dough all over to release trapped air and keep the crackers flat during baking.
-
With a pizza wheel or sharp knife, cut the dough into 2-inch squares or desired shapes.
-
Using a spatula, transfer the crackers to the prepared baking sheets.
-
Bake until the crackers are light brown and firm to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes, switching the positions of the sheets halfway through.
-
Cool the crackers completely on the baking sheets before serving.
