Sesame bread sticks

Ever since I have been living in India, I often miss the taste of sesame sticks sold at Trader’s Joe in Chicago.  Other day I decided to try my hand on these bread sticks so I could have something to accompany my salad and go down the memory lane as well. They turned out to be pretty close but they were no match to Trader Joe sesame sticks.  Anyway, here is my recipe of sesame sticks.

Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour(maida), ½  cup wheat flour, 4 tbsp cooking oil or melted butter, 1 tsp sugar, 1 ½  tsp salt or salt to taste, ¼ cup sesame seeds, ½ tsp baking powder,  ½ cup water.
 
Method:
Preheat oven to 325 degree F(200 degree C).
In a big bowl add flours, sugar, salt, baking powder, sesame seeds and cooking oil.
Now make like bread crumbs consistency of the mixture.  Add water little by little to make a stiff dough. Keep it aside for 30 minutes.
Divide dough into five-six portions.  Make a ball of one portion and roll it into a thick chapati with the rolling pin.  Using a knife, cut into small strips.  Put strips on a greased cooking sheet.  Bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown.  Turn them over and bake from other side for another 10 minutes.  Cool them for 15-20 minutes before eating or serving.  They are ideal to go with soup or salad.
