01 -
- The dough comes together in literally five minutes with ingredients you already have
- These bake up outrageously crispy and stay that way for days
- People cannot believe theyre homemade, which feels like a delicious secret
02 -
- The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier your final cracker will be
- These continue to crisp up as they cool, so don't worry if they seem slightly soft fresh from the oven

- Use a ruler to check thickness until you develop the feel for it
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes if it keeps springing back while rolling
