Paximadakia (crakers) with aroma and flavor.

INGREDIENTS:
• ¾ cup maize oil
• ¾ cup red or white wine
• ½ cup orange juice
• 1 tsp. orange zest
• 1 sachet baking powder
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. clove
• 4 tsp. aniseed
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup golden or black raisins
• 100 gr. sesame seeds
• 750 gr. all-purpose flour

PREPARATION:
Add all the ingredients in a big bowl and before you add the flour, mix the baking soda with the orange juice until the soda dissolves and pour it over the rest of the ingredients and combine them all together.

Then slowly add in the flour and knead well.

Once your dough is ready divide it in 4 parts.

Shape them in long sticks and sprinkle them with sesame seeds until they’re covered all over.

Afterwards add them in the oven for 20 minutes at 170-180C, then remove them and slice them with a knife at about the size of a finger

and pop them back in the oven for an additional 50 minutes time and turn them once in a while so they pick up color on both sides.

I’ve try them at my cousin’s once and I took the recipe, which she once so in a morning show.


GOOD LUCK!!!
