Have You Ever Baked Crackers From Scratch?

[Gutenberg]

The easiest crackers to make are the Ritz cracker-Waverly Wafer kind, and believe me they are a pain in the patoot. Unless you have a laminator lying around your kitchen you might not want to bother. The steps, pretty much, are mix dough, let rest, roll out, fold, turn, rest, roll out, fold, turn, rest, roll out, dock, bake. If you are really lucky the result will be as good as store-bought.

If you are having guests and want to offer then something special, I would make oiled and herbed pita crisps or a crispy foccaccia, and you will still be sane when you have your party.
