The recipe instructions contain an error and I assumed that the rolling instructions should have read 5 mm. Given the previous posters comments I erred on the wet side of the measurements and I had no trouble with getting the dough to mix well. Pick a good olive oil as they do have a distinct olive oil taste. And as they do crumble a bit, resist the temptation to eat them when they are still warm!

Tried making these crackers today. The mixture did not want to stick together. Added more oil and water, rolled out and it still wanted to break apart. Baked as directed. I'm sorry to say the taste for me was terrible. I thought with a whole cup of parmesan cheese they would have a cheesy flavor, but alas they tasted like oily cardboard.

There I am sitting in front of the computer, one of my favorite spots in the house. When I'm not at the computer, I enjoy cooking and entertaining.
See my icon? It is an old Royal typewriter. My father had one just like it that he gave me when I was in college. It had one key that stuck, but I typed all my term papers on that old thing. Whenever I see that icon I remember those happy days.
