Parmesan Sesame Crackers Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine ingredients, and pulse until dough comes together. Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, and form it into a log 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease two baking sheets. Cut log into 1/4-inch-thick crackers, and place them an inch apart on sheets. Bake until firm, about 12 to 13 minutes. Remove baking sheets from oven, and raise temperature to 500 degrees. When temperature comes up to correct heat, return sheets to oven, and bake for 3 minutes more, or until crackers are deeply golden brown all over. Let cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly dust with flour. Put flour, salt, cheese and butter in bowl of a food processor. Pulse until flour and butter are combined. Add about 1/4 cup cream or half-and-half and let machine run for a bit; continue to add liquid a teaspoon at a time, until mixture holds together but is not sticky.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface until 1/2-inch thick or even thinner, adding flour as needed. Transfer sheet of dough to prepared baking sheet (drape it over rolling pin to make it easier). Score lightly with a sharp knife, pizza cutter or a pastry wheel if you want to break crackers into squares or rectangles later on. Sprinkle with salt or other topping if you like.
• Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on a rack; serve warm or at room temperature or store in a tin for a few days.

Steps:

• Coarse salt, pepper, sesame or poppy seeds, minced garlic or whatever you like for sprinkling, optional
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly dust with flour. Put flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cheese, and butter in bowl of a food processor. Pulse until flour and butter are combined. Add about 1/4 cup cream or half-and-half and let machine run for a bit; continue to add liquid a teaspoon at a time, until mixture holds together but is not sticky.

• Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on a rack; serve warm or at room temperature or store in a tin for a few days.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• 2. Put the flour, sugar, and salt into a food processor, pulse until well mixed. Add 2 tsp of sesame seeds and the parmesan cheese. Pulse again until well blended.
• 3. Add the oil and the water over top of the dry ingredients and pulse until a tacky, crumbly dough comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface.
• 4. Pat dough down with hands into a rough rectangle shape, then roll out until about 1/8 inch thickness. Give a light sprinkling of sesame seeds and salt, and then lightly roll over the dough again to press seeds and salt into the dough.
• 5. Use a ravioli cutter or a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut into your desired cracker shape.
• 6. Using a spatula, lift and arrange onto your baking sheets, leaving a bit of space between each cracker.
• 7. Bake for 10-13 minutes, take out of the oven when the crackers just start to turn golden brown.
• 8. Remove crackers from baking sheet to cool. Store completely cooled crackers in a zip top bag or a sealable container to keep crunchy.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160°C (150°C fanbake), with the rack just below the middle.
• Measure the first five ingredients into a food processor or large bowl. Pour 1/2 cup warms water into a one cup measure, stir in the salt and sugar until dissolved, then add the oil. Process the dry ingredients in bursts (or toss them together with a fork), while you add the hot liquid mixture in a steady stream. Add as much of the remaining hot water as you need to form a ball of soft dough.
• Cut the dough into four parts and put three aside in a plastic bag. Roll out the other piece VERY thinly on a floured board, using extra flour to stop it sticking, making an oval shape bigger than an A4 size page. Cut in half (lengthwise), then cut each half into 10-12 tall, thin (pennant shaped) triangles, with alternate narrow bases and points on the cut edge. Perfect shapes aren't necessary and outside edges need not be trimmed. Prick crackers with a fork or skewer, Place on a metal cake rack to bake, crumpling but not folding them.
• Bake them on the rack for 10-15 minutes, until pale gold but dry and very crisp. Lower heat and cook longer if necessary. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough. When cold, store in airtight containers, reheating if crackers soften or storage.
• Flavour develops fully after about 12 hours.
