Biscuits with sunflower seeds and sesame biscuits

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make cookies with seeds? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take any refined vegetable oil. Butter can be replaced with vegetable. Use flour of the highest or first grade. I took white sesame, but you can use black or a combination of both types. Instead of sugar, you can take a sweetener that is not afraid of heat treatment.

2. Step 2:

   

   Take a deep bowl in which it is convenient to knead the dough. Pour hot water into it, add salt and sugar and mix until they dissolve.

3. Step 3:

   

   Then add vegetable and butter, mix. It is better to get butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes softer. If you haven't done that, just cut it into small pieces and then add it to the dough. Add starch and mix everything thoroughly. Starch will make the cookies more crispy.

4. Step 4:

   

   Sift most of the flour into a separate container. Add the baking powder and mix well so that it is evenly distributed over the flour. Flour should be sifted to sift out small debris, if there is any, and saturate the dough with oxygen for a more airy dough. Add flour in small portions and continue to knead the dough.

5. Step 5:

   

   When it becomes difficult to knead with a whisk or spoon, start doing it with your hands, adding flour until you get the desired consistency.

7. Step 6:

   

   The dough should be tender and soft, but not stick to your hands. Divide the dough into 2 parts. Turn on the oven to warm up to 180 degrees on the top-bottom mode.

8. Step 7:

   

   Roll out one half on non-stick parchment into a rectangular layer no more than 4 mm thick. If you are not sure about the non-stick properties of the parchment, lubricate it with vegetable oil. Trim the uneven edges and add them to the second part of the dough.

9. Step 8:

   

   Wash the egg, wipe with a towel and whisk with a fork or whisk. Evenly distribute half of the beaten egg over the rolled dough.

10. Step 9:

    

    Distribute the sesame seeds and seeds over the rolled dough. Press them a little into the dough by rolling them with a rolling pin. Cut with a curly or ordinary knife into squares. Make the size at your discretion. I have about 8x8 cm. A standard large baking tray from your oven is suitable for baking. Transfer the parchment with the dough to it. Place in a preheated 180 degree oven and bake until lightly browned for about 15 minutes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Determine the exact time and temperature by your oven. While the first part of the cookies is baking, prepare the second one for baking.
