Oats Wheat Sesame Crackers / Squares

I tried Rc's sesame sticks and just luved the taste. I modified the recipe a bit instead of APF I added wheat flour.... sure a guilt free snack with the goodness of wheat,oats and sesame! The first pic was clicked 2-3 months before and the second click was the recent one....hence the variation :)
Wheat Sesame Crackers


Ingredients :
  • Wheat flour (Atta) - 1 cup
  • Oats - ½ cup powdered coarsely( I used quaker)
  • Oil - 2 tbsp
  • Butter - 1 Tbsp (add more if you prefer crispy crackers)
  • Sesame seeds - ¼ cup
  • Garlic paste - 3 tsp
  • Salt per taste
  • Baking Powder - ½ tsp
  • Water - as reqd to knead the dough
Method:
  1. ln a bowl add the wheat flour, oats, baking powder, and salt. Add garlic paste, sesame seeds.


  2. Combine well, add oil.Melt the butter lil(mine got melted by itself after I took it out from chiller due to this scorching summer ;))and add at this stage. Add water little by little to form a thick chapathi like dough. Keep aside undisturbed for 30mins.


  3. Divide the dough into half. Roll each half thin and cut into squares or sticks. Combine the scrappings and repeat the same with the other half too.


  4. Preheat oven to 180C for 10 mins. Place the squares on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 15-18 minutes or until the crackers are crisp. The baking time depends on the thickness of the squares and the oven settings


Store in a air tight container. It can be stored upto a week.I strongly recommend adding atleast 1tbsp butter.
