  3. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into 1-inch squares.
  4. Arrange the squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Brush each square generously with melted butter (about 2 tablespoons for one sheet of pastry).
  6. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of black sesame seeds or regular sesame seeds (or a mix!).
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  8. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before adding to your soup, salad, or enjoying as a snack.
