Yield: This recipe makes two full sheets of crackers. The number of individual crackers depends on how large you score each square.
Technique: Knead the dough for exactly 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface. Over-kneading develops too much gluten and will give you tough, chewy crackers instead of a crisp, snappy bite.
Measuring: Roll the dough all the way to the edges of the mat or parchment for an even thickness across the whole sheet. Uneven rolling leads to some crackers overbrowning before others are done.
Storage: Store cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to several days. To freeze, place cooled crackers in a zip-top bag and freeze for up to one month, then let them return to room temperature before serving. Skip refrigerating them — the moisture will make them lose their snap.
