Ingredients

1 cup whole-wheat flour 

2 tablespoons sesame seeds, plus more for topping 

2 tablespoons sugar 

3/4 teaspoon coarse salt 

4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 

1/4 cup heavy cream 

Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, for topping 

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together flour, sesame seeds, sugar, and coarse salt. Work butter into flour mixture until crumbly. Stir in cream with a fork until dough forms. Shape into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap in plastic; freeze 1 hour or up to 3 months.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut log into 1/8-inch-thick rounds; arrange on parchment-lined baking sheets and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sea salt. Bake, rotating sheets once, until edges are golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Let crackers cool on a wire rack.
