As I mentioned in the video, there are two types of
“crackers;” the crispy, delicate, flaky, biscuit-style; and the flatbread-style
we’re making here. These are much more like a fried pita chip, than a saltine,
which is perfect for pairing with cheese. There’s nothing worse than trying to
cheese a too-brittle cracker, three drinks in, and having it explode in your hand.
The recipe and technique are very simple, but please pay
attention to your baking time. My “12-15 minutes,” is just a rough guess, and
it will depend on the thickness of your dough. I would start checking at 10
minutes, and go from there. Other than that, not much can go wrong. With prime
cheese and cracker season upon us, I really hope you give these a try soon.
Enjoy!
