Sesamesnackers Recipes

HOMEMADE SESAME SNAPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150 C / 300 F.
• Thoroughly combine all ingredients in a bowl with a spoon, pressing down the mixture against the sides.
• Measure out a piece of parchment/baking paper to fit a medium flat baking tray (about 40cm x 30cm) and place it on a cutting board or flat surface. See step-by-step pics above.
• Scoop the mixture into a ball and transfer to the middle of the sheet. Spread into an oval shaped pancake, pressing down with the back of the spoon. Make sure there are no visible holes. Then place another piece of parchment paper over the top and press down with your hands, until the pancake flattens. Make sure not to break it.
• Using a rolling pin, flatten the mixture into a thin layer. Press and roll the pin over the top starting from the middle in different directions, making sure the mixture doesn't spread beyond the parchment paper. We're after 2-3mm thickness - but don't worry if it's a little thicker.
• Carefully slide the paper with the snap layer onto a baking tray. Peel off the top piece of paper very carefully, patching up any little holes that might appear.
• Bake in the oven, middle shelf, for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Keep an eye on it as the mixture does cook quickly and can burn easily. It should be golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and cool completely. If it's cold outside, put the tray out in the cold air.
• Once completely cooled, break into rectangular snap pieces. Keep in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

SESAME STICK SNACKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
• Stir together baking mix and cream; blend for 30 seconds. Turn dough out onto a lightly flour surface and knead 10 times. Roll dough into a 5x10 inch rectangle. Cut dough into 1/2 inch wide strips.
• Place strips on prepared baking sheets. Brush strips with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, until golden.

SESAME STICKS

Steps:

• Cream the butter. Add the flour, and salt. Mix until butter is completely blended into the flour mixture.
• Blend in the egg, parmesan cheese and sesame oil. Mix until it looks like cookie dough.
• Press out on parchment paper in a 10 X 15 inch sheet pan until 1/4 inch thick and press in the sesame seeds. (Try to have a rectangle and equal thickness.).
• Use a pizza cutter, and cut into 1/2 X 1/2 inch pieces and spread out on the parchment paper so they are not touching.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minute until golden.

SESAME SNAPS

Steps:

• 1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add sesame seeds and toasted until lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• 2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, honey and sea salt. Stir constantly until sugar dissolved, about 3 minutes. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the color turns amber. Add toasted sesame seeds and quickly stir until well blended.
• 3. Rapidly remove from the heat and dump on a silicone mat. Using a greased angled spatula, spread mixture and place another silicone mat on top. Roll down to a thin layer (thinner it is, crunchier it gets). Gently peel off the silicone mat and score with a greased knife into 2-inch square (might have to re-score a few times as it gets harder). Make 16 squares

GREEK PASTELI (SESAME SEED & HONEY SNACKS)

Steps:

• In a heavy pan, bring the honey and water to "firm ball stage" (130 degrees C/250 degrees F).
• Take off the heat and stir in the sesame seeds and lemon zest.
• On a flat marble surface (or metal trays moistened with water, or a layer of parchment) spread the mixture evenly with a spatula or knife (or try a rolling pin) to 1 cm (1/4 inch) thickness.
• Before it cools, cut into squares (try a pizza cutter).
• When it is completely cool, wrap the squares in waxed paper and store in a covered container.
