Rosemary Flax Crackers

All the blogs promised it was easy to make homemade crackers....and those bloggers were not telling tales! Made my first batch of homemade Rosemary Flax Crackers on this first day of the new year 2014 using this recipe.  I used 1 cup white whole wheat flour, about 1.75 cups of white flour and the rest flax meal to make up my three cups.  The other ingredients I followed exactly, with the exception of adding dried rosemary to the dough.  It is a good idea to let the dough rest a bit, and if you think you've rolled the dough thin enough, go ahead and do it a little thinner.  My first batch was slightly thick, and gave me more of pita chip texture.  Or hardtack.

I also skipped the step of brushing with water and putting seeds or sea salt on top because I didn't have anything on hand.  The crackers were seasoned nicely, but I wouldn't have minded a few sea salt crystals on top. Now that I know how easy it is, I'm going to have to try one of the recipes for cheese crackers.
