Gather equipment: mixing bowl, measuring cups for water and flour, measuring spoons for spices, spatula, timer, silicone mat, half sheet baking pan, and sealable storage container.

Measure 2/3 cup of whole wheat flour into the mixing bowl.

Add a pinch of salt to the flour.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of black sesame seeds to the bowl.

Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly until combined.

Pour in 3/4 cup of water and mix until the batter is smooth, resembling a watery pancake batter.

Pour the batter onto a silicone mat, tilting the baking pan to spread it evenly.

Use a spatula to spread the batter and fill in any holes as needed.

Bake the batter in the oven for 10 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven and score the batter into cracker shapes using the spatula.

Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, turn off the oven and let the crackers sit inside for an additional 30 minutes.

Check the crackers for doneness; they should not stick when lifted and should feel dry.

If any crackers are undercooked, reset the oven to 250°F and bake for an additional 5 minutes, then let them sit for another 30 minutes before checking again.
