Step 6

Remove from oven and reduce the heat to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Score the crackers using a rotary pizza cutter or long knife. Be gentle, as the centermost crackers will still be soft and easily torn.

If desired, sprinkle with extra salt and your choice of herbs, spices, and/or seasoning blends.

Step 7

Return to the oven and bake at 170 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 1 1/2 hours, give or take, until the crackers are crisp.

Tip

The crackers around edges tend to bake faster than the center crackers, so I recommend removing the outermost crackers from the sheet when they're finished, and return the sheet to the oven to allow the rest to completely crisp.

Remove from the oven, let them cool, then break apart at the score lines.

Enjoy as you would any cracker. They're especially yummy topped with crabmeat salad.
