Ingredients

• 120 grams Whole wheat flour
• 60 grams All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 60 milliliters Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, ground black pepper, and salt.

Step 3

Add the olive oil to the dry mixture and mix until it resembles a crumbly texture.

Step 4

Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. It should form a firm, slightly sticky ball.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out as thinly as possible, about 1-2 mm thick.

Step 6

Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into small squares or rectangles, about 5 cm in size, or your preferred shape.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the cut pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each cracker.

Step 8

If using sesame seeds, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the crackers and press gently to adhere.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
