Ingredients

1/3 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons peanut butter smooth and creamy
5 tablespoons water * See notes
1 teaspoon peanut oil to brush
1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until combined. Form a well in the center, then add the peanut butter and water. Stir together until a thick dough remains. Using your hands, shape the dough into a ball.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured kitchen surface and knead several times. Shape the dough into a rectangle shape. wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 12-inches down the sides and around 1/16th of an inch in thickness. Using a pizza cutter, cut out 8 rows by 6 rows, to form 48 crackers.
Prick each cracker with a fork. Brush the crackers with a tiny bit of peanut oil and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
Bake the crackers for 13-15 minutes, until crispy. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.

Notes

* If your dough is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of water.
