Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (I used whole grain sprouted wheat flour, plus more for rolling.)
  • 1/2 cup spelt flour (or if you'd rather you can use 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (I used coconut palm sugar)
  • 1 stick of cold butter (cut into 8 tablespoons)
  • 4 tablespoons honey (divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 1/2 cups toasted sesame seeds
  • 4 tablespoons ice water (divided)

Instruction

  • In a food processor, or by hand a in a largebowl using a pastry blender, pulse/blend the flours, baking soda, salt, brownsugar until it forms a sand-like consistency.
  • Add in the butter, 2 tablespoons honey, sesameoil and 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse/blend until the dough comes together into a slightly sticky ball, but one that holds together nicely.
  • Add the sesame seeds to the dough and using awooden spoon and fold them thoroughly into the dough.
  • Form the dough into a disc and wrap it inplastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  • Roll the chilled dough out onto a lightlyfloured surface to 1/8" thickness.
  • Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
  • Using a pizza cutter or pastry wheel, cut thedough into whatever size shapes you like. I cut mine into approximately 1"squares.
  • Transfer the crackers onto a parchment-linedbaking sheet.
  • Mix together 2 tablespoons honey and 1tablespoon water. *Note - It's easier to mix if you place it in a microwave for just a few seconds.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of thecrackers with half of the honey mixture.
  • Bake for approximately 10 minutes and thenremove the crackers and brush them again with the remaining honey mixture.
  • Return the crackers to the oven for another10-15 minutes and then cool on a wire rack.
