It is because of my love of those yummy little sesame seed snacks you can purchase at the store that I came up with my own version of Honey Sesame Seed Crackers.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 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

Instructions

 

• In a food processor, or by hand a in a large
  bowl using a pastry blender, pulse/blend the flours, baking soda, salt, brown
  sugar until it forms a sand-like consistency.
• Add in the butter, 2 tablespoons honey, sesame
  oil 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 a
  wooden spoon and fold them thoroughly into the dough.
• Form the dough into a disc and wrap it in
  plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
• Roll the chilled dough out onto a lightly
  floured surface to 1/8" thickness.
• Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
• Using a pizza cutter or pastry wheel, cut the
  dough into whatever size shapes you like. I cut mine into approximately 1"
  squares.
• Transfer the crackers onto a parchment-lined
  baking sheet.
• Mix together 2 tablespoons honey and 1
  tablespoon 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 the
  crackers with half of the honey mixture.
• Bake for approximately 10 minutes and then
  remove the crackers and brush them again with the remaining honey mixture.
• Return the crackers to the oven for another
  10-15 minutes and then cool on a wire rack.
