Y'know the sesame sticks that come in those Snack Mixes and the bulk bins in the grocery stores? I love 'em. I'm the one who picks all the good stuff out first (like the sesame sticks).and leaves the rest (the peanuts and the pretzels)And because they're "Sesame" we think, well seeds are keto, right? LOL. only if it doesn't come baked in 2 cups of wheat flour. A quarter of a cup of sesame sticks is 15 to 20 carbs! Ouch. So JOhn and I decided to give them a shot and guess what? They are a dead ringer for the high carb version! Give them a try, they are easy and delicious!!!*BTW, the recipe calls for sesame oil. This is not the toasted sesame oil used in Asian cooking. This is plain sesame oil usually found near olive oil, avocado oil, etc.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400*
Ina dry skillet, brown the sesame seeds till golden and fragrant. Remove from pan immediately so they don't burn.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the dry ingredients gently on low.
In a measuring cup, combine the water and oil with a whisk.
With the mixer on low, stream the oil mixture into the dry ingredients slowly until all the dry ingredients have been picked up and the dough comes together.
Divide dough in half. Roll out each ball in between 2 pieces of parchment paper to about a 15 x 10 inch rectangle.
Using a pizza cutter or a 5 wheel cutter, cut the dough into ⅓ to ½ inch strips. Repeat with second dough ball.
Transfer both batches of sticks to their own sheet pan and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
When the crackers are cold, brush with more sesame oil and sprinkle with more seeds and a bit of sea salt.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. They will harden as they cool down. I personally found them to be more flavorful when they were a bit browner that you might think. They will also cook quicker if you separate the sticks from one another. Alas I am far to lazy for that! Just keep your eye on them after 20 minutes and pull them when you like the color and they start to smell wonderful!
