Nice crackers. I modified this based on what I had on hand, I used Whole Wheat flour, and I used my noodle maker to roll it thin. Also taking the recommendation of another recipe I baked these directly on my pizza stone. These turned out great. I like them a bit darker so I had to watch while baking, but they didn't take long directly on the stone.

I wanted to love this recipe, but like a previous reviewer these just did not turn out well for me at all. They were easy to make, but they were bland. That could be overlooked though (they'd be good with bold flavors of dip or flavorful toppings) but it's really the texture that ruins it for me. They were not light and flaky as a cracker should be in my opinion, but instead they were very heavy and dense. Some were a little thicker, and those ones had a slightly chewy texture to them. The others that were thinner were too hard, and difficult to bite into.
