Whole Wheat Sesame Crackers
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup yogurt
Scant 2/3 cup ice water
kosher salt (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast sesame seeds in small pan over med-high heat, watching and shaking pan so they do not burn. Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Using a pastry cutter, cut in butter and yogurt. Add toasted seeds to the batter. Mix in the ice water, kneading lightly.
Roll dough to 1/8 inch thick; any thicker will make the crackers tough rather than crisp. Cut with pizza cutter to the size you want. Prick all over with a fork. Sprinkle with kosher salt if using. Bake on a lightly greased cookie sheet for 10 minutes, or until lightly brown. Cool on a rack.
