Hummus Dip
Preparation
Step 1
In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. Add the butter; pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer to a medium bowl; stir in the buttermilk and 1 cup of the sesame seeds until the mixture forms a dough. Divide into quarters; wrap in plastic. Chill 20 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, and soy sauce. Transfer one piece of dough to a lightly floured work surface; roll out into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Use a sharp knife or pizza wheel to cut the rectangle into strips about 3/8 inch wide and 10 inches long. Brush the strips with egg mixture; sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup sesame seeds.
Step 3
Arrange the strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until just golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.

Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until smooth and creamy, adding more water if needed. Transfer to a serving dish or airtight container, and place in the refrigerator, covered, until ready to serve, up to 5 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
