Made from Scratch: Sesame Lavosh Crackers
Adapted from Annabel Langbein's The Free Range Cook
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10-15 minutes
-
1.5 cups plain all purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon white sugar
-
1/2 cup warm water
-
1/4 cup oil
-
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Step 1 - Preheat the oven to 175C/347F. Line two trays with baking parchment (you will make four lots but you can make them after each other but line four trays if you want) and take out a rolling pin and a butter knife. In a bowl, add the flour, sesame seeds, salt and sugar and with a fork stir to combine. In a jug, measure the warm water, oil and sesame oil and add this to the flour mix. Using a fork combine these and knead gently for about 30 seconds.
Step 2 - Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll these out with the rolling pin-you can make shards, circles, small rectangles, whatever you like. The smaller the shape, the quicker they will cook though and so a whole round will take perhaps 20 minutes while the small rectangles like the supermarket ones take about 10-15 minutes (and I liked these best). You can also roll this out very thinly but I preferred them this sort of thickness. Bake until golden-about 15 minutes but check for colour. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
