SESAME THINS (CRACKERS)

Sesame Thins (crackers) image

Makes an excellent accompaniment to hummus or other spread. I just discovered that I love dipping them into garlic/onion flavored cream cheese. I also love them with soups. Sesame oil gives these crackers a strong, nutty taste. If you want a milder cracker, substitute shortening for some of the oil. Yield 6 dozen crackers. (From King Arthur Flour's Baking Companion)

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons untoasted sesame seeds, white or black
2 tablespoons tahini
3 cloves garlic, minced or grated
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Hot sauce, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 chicken thighs, bone in and skin on
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sesame seeds, tahini, garlic, lemon zest and juice and hot sauce to taste if using. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the indirect heat side of the grill, skin-side up. Close the grill and cook until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Flip and move to the direct heat side of the grill to char on the other side. Cook until the skin is charred and crispy and the chicken is cooked through; the internal temperature should be 160 degrees F, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with the parsley before serving.

Ingredients

2 ½ cups sesame seeds
2 cups all-purpose flour
⅔ cup packed brown sugar
1 pinch salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup white sugar
4 eggs
½ cup unsalted butter
2 teaspoons sesame oil
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Toast sesame seeds on pan, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden (about 10 minutes). Set aside. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar and white sugar. Melt butter over low heat and add to mixture. Separate two of the eggs and add egg yolks. Add the other two eggs and mix well. Mix in toasted sesame oil (optional) and vanilla. Stir until well blended.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the crackers will be. Look for unbleached flour, hulled sesame seeds, and natural sea salt.
Toast the sesame seeds: Toasting the sesame seeds brings out their nutty flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to develop its flavor and makes it easier to roll out. You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Roll the dough thinly: The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier the crackers will be. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
Score the dough before baking: Scoring the dough helps the crackers to bake evenly and prevents them from puffing up. You can score the dough with a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
Bake the crackers until they are golden brown: The crackers are done baking when they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
