A dough of flour, a little olive oil, salt and cold water, sometimes with grated cheese and spices, kneaded briefly, rolled out very thin, with seeds pressed on top, cut into squares and baked until dry and crisp.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F) and line Pan with parchment paper.
⚙ Preheating the OvenOvenParchment paper
💡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.

In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.

3
Pour in the olive oil and water and knead, just until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms.
4
Roll out the dough into a sheet as thin as possible.
⚙ Rolling Out DoughRolling pin
💡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.
5
Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and press them in lightly with the rolling pin.

Bake 20 minutes, until the crackers are dry.
⚙ BakingOvenBaking pan
💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
8
Let cool on the paper: the crackers harden and turn crisp as they cool.
