• 4. Roll one section of the dough into a rectangle. square off the sides with a knife. Using a pizza cutter or pastry roller, roll over the dough not any thicker then 1/8 inch. (can be thinner)
• 5. Cut into desired squares, I used a pastry roller to help mark the dough then cut into equal squares using a pizza roller at first but ended up just doing it by hand.
• 6. After your squares are cut poke holes in them using a wooden skewer (the blunt end). Place on a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• 7. Coat each square using a pastry brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt (desired amount to your liking. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. I use a gas oven so this time may be very different for you.

Coated them with the olive oil and sprinkled with Kosher salt. After they were finished baking I took a Garlic clove and lightly rubbed the bottom side of added flavor!

CRISPY BUTTER CRACKERS 4 WAYS

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
• Add the 2 cups flour, the Parmesan and kosher salt to a food processor, and pulse until the cheese is finely chopped and the mixture is evenly combined. Add the butter and pulse until it's evenly dispersed and the dough looks like coarse cornmeal. Add 1/2 cup of the heavy cream, then continue to pulse and add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms a ball but is not sticky.
• Transfer the dough to a clean work surface that's lightly dusted with more flour. Shape into a disk, then cut into 4 equal pieces. Use a rolling pin to roll out each piece of dough into a very thin sheet, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer 2 sheets of dough to each of the prepared baking sheets.
• Whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl until combined, then brush on top of each sheet of dough.
• For the plain butter flavor: Sprinkle a generous pinch of flaky sea salt over one sheet.
• For the "everything" flavor: Sprinkle the everything seasoning over another sheet of dough.
• For the Parmesan-black pepper flavor: Sprinkle the Parmesan, several grinds of coarse black pepper and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the third sheet of dough.
• For the dried fig and rosemary flavor: Sprinkle the figs, rosemary leaves and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the fourth and final sheet of dough.
• Use a pizza cutter, fluted pastry cutter or 2-inch cookie cutters to cut out the crackers into desired shapes. (If using a cookie cutter, you can discard the scraps or leave those on the baking sheet and bake as well). Spread the shapes out slightly on the baking sheets.
• Bake until the crackers are golden brown all over and crisp, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through, 14 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely, then serve. These crackers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

CRISPY RICE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 150°F. Line a 9 x 12-inch rimmed baking sheet with a Silpat.
• Put the rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the rice is very tender and starting to get mushy, about 20 minutes.
• Drain the rice and put it in a food processor. Pulse a few times to make a very coarse puree, but make sure it retains some texture.
• Scrape the rice out onto the Silpat and spread it out evenly, filling the baking sheet. Put it in the oven to dry completely, about 3 hours.
• Pour about 3 inches of oil into a large saucepan and heat to 365°F. Break off pieces of the dried rice and fry, a few pieces at a time, until crisp and golden, about 2 minutes. Drain and sprinkle with salt.
• These are best served right away, but you can store leftovers, once cool, in an airtight container, between layers of parchment, for up to 2 days.
