How to Make Sesame Soda Crackers: A Simple Guide

Sesame soda crackers are a beloved snack—crispy, savory, and perfect on their own or with dips. Here’s a straightforward recipe to make them at home.

Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- ½ teaspoon baking soda

- ½ teaspoon salt

- 4 tablespoons cold butter, cubed

- ½ cup milk (or buttermilk for tang)

- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds ( toasted for extra flavor)

Steps:

1. Mix dry ingredients: Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in milk gradually, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead gently for 2–3 minutes on a floured surface—don’t overwork it.

3. Shape the crackers: Roll the dough into a thin sheet (about ⅛-inch thick). Use a knife or cookie cutter to cut into rectangles or squares.

4. Top and bake: Brush the tops with milk, sprinkle sesame seeds, and prick with a fork. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes until golden and crisp.

Variations: Add herbs like rosemary or a pinch of garlic powder for extra zest. Store in an airtight container to maintain crunch. Enjoy these homemade crackers with tea, soups, or as a quick snack!
