These are OK, but too much work for what they are. I made rounds that ended up looking like slices of sausage. The sauerkraut makes it look that way, which seems to be unappetizing to most vegetarians. I dehydrated the rounds until they were nicely crisp. The texture is great, but the flavor is nothing special, and I think I can taste the raw flour in them. I put them in the refrigerator since they're full of butter and cheese, but I'm sure they would keep for some time at room temperature. We're slowly eating them up, but without a lot of enthusiasm.
