Sesame Crackers

Ryan made sausage leek soup for dinner tonight- I thought we needed something to go with it. Sesame crackers sounded good. I found a recipe on http://www.sandraseasycooking.com - It needed some changes though - and this is what we came up with.


2 cups wheat flour
2 Tbs. Baking powder
2 Tbs. Sesame Seeds + extra for sprinkling
1 Tbs. Sugar
1/2 Tbs. Salt
2 Tbs. Butter and extra melted for brushing
1 cup of warm milk
kosher salt for sprinkling


Preheat the open to 375 *. Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and sesame seeds. Add the butter and cut in with a fork. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add milk. I heated it for 1 min in the microwave first. Mix is to make a dough. I had to add more flour because it was too sticky. Divide the dough in half. Put each half on a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat mat. Press or roll it out as thin as possible (like a pizza crust or thinner). Brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and kosher salt. Bake for approx. 15 minutes or until golden brown. Put baking sheet on a wire rack to cool. Allow to cool completely (or until you can't wait anymore). Break into pieces and serve. We put fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves on ours. It was yummy! We ate most of it before I even thought of getting a picture. So use your imagination!


Note- I thought it was a bit too salty- the rest of the family thought it was good though. I think next time I will leave out some of the salt.
