Lavosh Crackers

These snappy crisp crackers, made with whole grain flour, olive oil, and sesame seeds, are easy to make and are a great snack or addition to any gathering.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup white whole wheat flour (120g)
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour (72g)
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (white or black)
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. 2Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. 3Lightly sprinkle flour on a work surface for kneading and rolling out the dough.
4. 4Add flours, sesame seeds, salt and sugar to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
5. 5Combine warm water, olive oil, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Slowly warm water mixture to flour mixture, using a fork to combine.
6. 6Gather the dough up in your hands, pressing it to form a ball. Divide dough in half.
7. 7Transfer one half of dough to prepared work surface and knead for about 30 seconds and flatten into a rough rectangle. With a rolling pin, roll dough into a thin, even rectangle between 1/16" and 1/8" thick.
8. 8Leave dough whole or cut into your desired shape using a sharp knife, pizza wheel, or pasta cutter (my choice) if you want a sculptured edge.
9. 9Transfer dough whole or in whatever shape you've cut to your parchment lined baking sheet - leaving space between crackers if you've cut them up.
10. 10Bake for 12 to 15 minutes - or up to 20 minutes if you're baking the dough whole - until the crackers are crisp and golden brown. Remove from the oven to cool completely.
11. 11Meanwhile, as crackers bake, repeat kneading, rolling and cutting the remaining dough and bake once you've removed the first batch.
12. 12Serve or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
