NOTES
1. - Oven
Preferably use a conventional oven. When using a conventional oven, set the temperature to 430 °F (220 °C). In a convection oven, 390 °F (200 °C) is enough.
2. - Roll
The easiest way is to take two baking papers and roll the dough between them until the desired thickness. You could also use a pasta machine to form a thin dough.
3. - Storage
Store the cracker bread in an airtight container for five days in a cold place. You can’t store them in the fridge or freezer. Because of the moisture, the structure and topping will change.
