Homemade artisan crackers - sesame sea salt flavour

See FAQ above for more information about substitutions and options.

1. No salt flakes for sprinkling? Use a slightly heaped 1/4 tsp cooking/kosher salt or 1/8 tsp (levelled) table salt (for the whole recipe). Only got table salt? Use half the quantity of cooking salt listed in the ingredients.

2. No olive oil spray?Lightly brush the surface of the dough with extra virgin olive oilbefore cutting (faster than doing individual pieces).

3. Rolling out – The dough is friendly and easy to roll thinly. It doesn’t matter what shape you end up with, the thinness is what’s important as this affects crispiness. I aim for oval shape but rarely succeed! Use extra flour for sprinkling as needed to prevent from sticking to the counter or rolling pin.

4. Cutting – If using a knife, cut up and down, don’t drag the knife through the dough.

5. Baking tips – Smaller and thinner pieces will colour faster, remove earlier if needed. Pieces on outer rim will colour first so move them into the middle. Keep an eye on them for the last few minutes as they go from pale to golden quickly!

6. Storage – Best on day made for maximum flavour but stays crispy for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container (and always still tastier than store bought!). If they soften a bit or are a bit stale, pop the back in the oven to crisp up again.
