Cooking Tips: If the dough gets overworked when combining the water and oil into the flour it may be elastic when trying to roll out. Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes and it should relax and be easier to roll. If the crackers become several days old and start to loose their crispness, place the crackers in a 350 degree F oven for a few minutes to crisp up.
