Why is sesame so healthy?

Nicotinic acid or niacin, formerly known as vitamin B3, is important for the regeneration of skin, muscles, nerves and DNA.

Preparation time: 30 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 100 g whole grain rice flour
- 10 g locust bean gum
- 40 g potato starch
- 3 tbsp white sesame seeds (roasted)
- 2 tbsp black sesame seeds (for crunch)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp paprika powder or cumin (optional, for a spicy note)
- 60 ml olive oil (tip: chili olive oil for a spicy note)
- 80 ml water (a little more if necessary)
PREPARATION
- Make the dough: Mix the flour, sesame seeds, salt and spices in a bowl. Add olive oil and water and knead into a smooth, supple dough.
- Roll out: Roll out the dough thinly (approx. 2 mm) between two baking papers. This means nothing sticks and the dough can be spread out evenly and thinly.
- Cutting: Cut the dough into diamonds, squares or strips – whatever you like. Or cut out round.
- Bake: Place the crackers on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush with a little water and optionally sprinkle with coarse salt for that extra crunch.
- Oven: Bake at 180°C (fan oven) for about 12-15 minutes until the crackers are golden brown and crispy.
- Allow to cool: For extra crunch, let the crackers cool after baking with the oven door slightly open.
- Variety of aromas: Play with spices – such as rosemary, thyme, curry or even a little lemon peel – and always discover new taste experiences.
- Spicy version: The crackers get a spicy note with chili olive oil.
