100 grams (heaping 2/3 cup) spelt flour (alternatives: soft white)
90 grams (scant 2/3 cup) barley flour (alternatives: soft white)
90 grams (scant 2/3 cup) soft white flour

Preheat oven to 350°.
-
Divide the dough into two halves.
-
Working with one half at a time, roll out the dough onto a silicone mat to about 1/16 inch, forming a rectangle. Use reserved flour to prevent rolling pin from sticking.

Move crackers to baking tray using the silicone mat. (For crisp crackers, do not bake on the silicone mat.)
-
Use a fork to press holes into the crackers.

Bake 12-14 minutes or until edges are crisp.
-
Cool completely on a cooling rack.
-
Cookies can be put back in the hot oven to make crispier as needed.
