#	What to do	How long
1	Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F) and line Pan with parchment paper	12 min
2	In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt	1 min
3	Pour in the olive oil and water and knead, just	1 min
4	Roll out the dough into a sheet as thin as possible	—
5	Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and press them in lightly with the rolling pin	1 min
6	Cut into squares with a knife	3 min
7	Bake 20 minutes	20 min
8	Let cool on the paper: the crackers harden and turn crisp as they cool	—

Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
Roll out as thin as possible: a thin cracker comes out crisp and dry, and a thick one stays soft in the middle.
Roll from the center outward and give the dough a quarter turn between rolls: this keeps it even in thickness and stops it sticking to the counter. If it springs back, cover for 10–15 minutes and try again.

Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.

For a cup of flour: 2 tablespoons olive oil, about 6 tablespoons cold water (plus 2 more if needed) and half a teaspoon salt; sesame or other seeds in the dough and on top.
Roll the dough out as thin as possible, on a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of parchment paper.
Sprinkle the seeds on top and press them in lightly; score into squares and cut, before baking or partway through.
