Besides they're healthy, these biscuits could make an easy project that both you and your kids could enjoy during this vacation.
But before starting baking, lets go through the thyme nutrition facts and health benefits.
This lovely aromatic herb has been used as medicine throughout history especially for chest and respiratory problems. Researchers have found that thyme contains a volatile oil known as Thymol. This oil acts as an antiseptic and disinfectant. Thyme is packed with minerals and vitamins that are essential for optimum health. Its leaves are one of the richest sources of potassium, iron, calcium, manganese, magnesium, and selenium.
Thyme has been known to expel parasites in the body so drinking a tea brewed with thyme daily can be very beneficial and it helps easing menstrual cramps and PMS as well.
Wow! what a great herb heh? So let's move to cooking shall we?
Ingredients
3 cups Flour1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup water
4 tbsps fresh or dried thyme
2 tbsps roasted sesame seeds
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
Directions
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius, prepare a baking dish covered with a baking sheet..Mean while, mix all the ingredients together, let stand the water. Then start adding the water little by little while kneading till you get a soft, non-sticky dough ball.
Turn the dough out onto a flat floured surface, and start rolling from the inside out. Lifting, turning and flouring the surface occasionally to keep it from sticking. Keep rolling until you get an even, thin dough.
Cut out the biscuits using the shape you desire, we used a 5cm diameter round cookie cutter.
Place them on the baking dish, and bake for 10-15 mns or until golden.
You can serve with Labneh or Cream Cheese.
Bon Appétit!
