Ingredients

1 1/4 cups
all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 oz.
grated Parmesan (about 1/2 cup), plus 1/2 ounce for topping
1 1/2 tsp.
sugar
3/4 tsp.
kosher salt
1/2 tsp.
pepper
1/2 cup
(1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and frozen
2 Tbsp.
lightly toasted sesame seeds, divided
1 3/4 tsp.
poppy seeds, divided
3
to 6 Tbsp ice water

Directions

1. Step 1In food processor, combine flour, Parmesan, sugar, salt, and pepper. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (slightly smaller than peas). Pulse in 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and 1 teaspoon poppy seeds until combined. Continue to pulse, adding 3 tablespoons ice water, until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed. Pulse in additional ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary; do not overmix. Form dough into 6- by 8-inch rectangle and refrigerate.
2. Step 2Heat oven to 350°F. Let dough soften slightly at room temperature, 5 to 10 minutes. On lightly floured parchment paper, with floured rolling pin, roll out dough to about 11- by 13-inch rectangle. Slide onto baking sheet with parchment and freeze until firm, 15 minutes.
3. Step 3Slide parchment with dough onto work surface and, using pastry wheel and ruler, cut dough into 1 1/4-inch squares. Slide onto rimmed baking sheet and grate remaining Parmesan over top with microplane. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and 3/4 teaspoon poppy seeds. Bake, removing outer crackers as they are done if necessary, until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
