Once the dough is together, turn it out onto your counter and knead 4 to 5 times until it forms a soft ball. Place a bowl or kitchen towel and let it rest for few minutes .

Using your hands or a rolling pin, roll the dough out until it forms a ⅛” thin sheet.

Cut the dough into strips using a pastry wheel, pizza cutter, or knife. Place the strips about a 1/2 inch apart on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle the chips with white sesame seeds and nigella seeds evenly and give a final roll with the rolling pin. Brush or spray some olive oil.

Place the  baking sheet in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until they are a golden brown color around the edges. Don’t undercook the crackers or they can become soggy.
