Sesame Thins Crackers Food

HOMEMADE SWEET SESAME CRISPS

Steps:

• Beat the egg whites until they start to get bubbly. Add the powdered sugar and beat until the sugar is dissolved. Beat in the oil and flour and mix well. Stir in the sesame seeds. Let the mixture sit for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill a zip top bag with batter and cut a ¼ inch hole in one corner. Squeeze out the batter onto the parchment to make circles, about an inch and a half apart. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden. Cool and serve.

SESAME CRACKERS - THIN AND CRISPY

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer, dissolve the yeast and the honey in the warm water. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, until the yeast activates and a foam cap forms.
• Mix in the salt and the sesame oil. Using the dough hook attachment, incorporate the whole wheat flour and all but a handful of the bread flour. Knead until a smooth, elastic dough develops. Keep adding more flour if necessary. Incorporate the sesame seeds. Remove the bowl from the mixer, cover and place in a warm place for 1 hour to proof.
• Cut the dough into 4-6 pieces. Flatten each piece with your hands or a roller to about ¼ - inch thick. Cover the dough pieces with a piece of plastic wrap and let relax for 15 minutes. Roll each piece out to #6 setting on the KitchenAid pasta roller attachment, which is about 1/64 inch or about 0.5 mm thick (see notes).
• Lay the rolled out dough on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cut the dough sheets into crackers of the desired size and shape. Large triangles or wedges work particularly well. Bake immediately (do not let them rise, or the crackers will be thick instead of thin and crisp) at 375°F (190°C) until deep golden brown (see notes). Rolled out to #6 they need 14-15 minutes of baking.
• Store in airtight containers.
