Ingredients
2/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/3 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons tahini
5 to 6 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Toasted sesame oil, for brushing
Directions
- Whisk together both flours, the onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, baking powder and cayenne in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the tahini and 5 tablespoons water. Stir with a wooden spoon, then use your hands to form a slightly tacky ball, adding another tablespoon of water if needed.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead 4 or 5 times to form a smooth ball. Press into a rectangle, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the white and black sesame seeds and flaky salt in a small bowl and set aside.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Roll out the dough into a 12-by-13-inch rectangle, about 1/16 inch thick (the dough should be very thin and even). Use a pizza cutter or bench scraper to trim the edges and cut the dough into 48 crackers: 8 rows crosswise and 6 rows lengthwise. Prick each cracker a few times with a fork. Brush the crackers with sesame oil and sprinkle with the sesame seed mixture. Use your fingers to lightly press the seeds into the crackers.
- Using an offset spatula, transfer the crackers to the baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and let the crackers cool completely.
