Crispy and crunchy, with an earthy, nutty flavour, these easy homemade crackers are ready to eat in little more than half an hour. Serve with cheeses, patés and dips or alongside soups.
Preheat the oven to 220C/200 Fan/Gas 7.
Cut two pieces of baking paper to fit the bases of two shallow baking trays each approximately 31 x 21 cm.
Put the flours, sesame seeds and salt in a medium sized mixing bowl and stir together.
Stir the olive oil into the water then pour it over the flour mixture.
Stir with a spoon to combine, then switch to your hands to bring together into a dough.
Cut the dough in half and set one half aside (cover with the upturned bowl so it doesn't dry out).
Lightly flour one of the pieces of baking paper.
Place one piece of dough on it, sprinkle with flour, and roll out very thinly (no more than 1-2 mm) until it covers the paper.
Neaten the edges of the dough with a knife, pastry wheel or pizza wheel.
Cut the dough into squares or rectangles of your preferred size.
Tip: using a ruler width as a template, you should get 5 rows of 8 i.e. 40 small square crackers per tray.
Slide the paper and the uncooked crackers onto one of the baking trays.
Prick the crackers all over with a fork.
Put the crackers in the preheated oven and cook until crisp and golden (10-15 min). Check after 8 minutes as crackers at the edges of the tray may cook much quicker: remove these and return the tray to the oven.
While the first tray is baking, make another batch with the remaining dough and cook as above.
Transfer the crackers to a wire rack until cool enough to handle. If any crackers are still joined together, snap them apart along the marks you cut.
Leave until completely cold before storing in an airtight container. Crackers will keep fresh for around 2 weeks.
