Sesame Thins

Ever since I learned how to make crackers, I've found it really difficult to go back to store-bought boxes of them. The taste just doesn't compare! Here's proof: these sesame crackers, loaded with good local spelt flour (about half to two-thirds of the flour content), are crisper and more flavorful than any store-bought version -- with less salt and no sugar, too!

With a good dose of toasted sesame oil, the fragrance and taste of these crackers will remind you of sesame noodles or similar Asian dishes. (Frankly, the scent of these wafting out of the oven makes me want to whip up a spicy peanut sauce and start dipping!) The spelt flour keeps them crisp for longer than wheat flour alone would, but remember: there are no preservatives in these crackers, and they won't last forever.

So eat up! Where else will you find crackers that taste this good and are wholesome, too?
