Homemade Crackers

3 cups of flour
1 T oil
1 tsp salt
1 to 1 1/2 cups of water

Add the flour, salt and oil to a mixing bowl, add about a cup of water maybe a little more. Mix until you can form a ball. Let it rest if you have patience at least 5 minutes. Roll out on parchment paper (you will thank me later ) to a 1/4" thick. Use a pizza cutter and cut into small cracker size pieces, use a fork to poke the dough,

Bake at 300 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes, when checking break up the crackers and stir them around. Often the crackers on the edges of the pan will cook faster. If the crackers are still pliable then put them back in the oven checking ever 5-10 minutes. Pull them out when the crackers are a little flexible, they will continue to get crispy.

Options - add garlic and onion powder or other herbs and spices
Change up the flour white flour, wheat flour, combo, add seed, replace 1/2 flour with drier cheeses like parmesan cheese.
