Cutting the Cracker Dough

1. First, preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or a silicone sheet, or spray with Avocado Oil to prevent the crackers from sticking.
3. Then, divide the dough in half.
4. Next, lightly flour a flat surface such as your kitchen counter.
5. Then, with a rolling pin, roll out the dough as thin as possible (about 1/8 inch thick).
6. Next, cut the dough using a 1 1/2 inch mini, round cookie cutter (alternatively you could use a sharp knife).
7. Then, place the unbaked crackers onto the prepared baking sheet.
   • Optional: Pierce a small hole at the top of each cracker using the sharpest point of a knife.
8. Next, repeat steps 4-7 until all of the cracker dough is used.
9. Finally, place the unbaked crackers in the refrigerator for 10 minutes prior to baking.
