- Meanwhile preheat oven @180° C for 10 minutes. Also grease baking tray with butter or oil. You can use parchment paper or baking mat.
- Divide the dough into portions. Roll them into balls and flatten them with a rolling pin ½ cm thickness. You can roll it thicker too if you like thicker crackers.
- If your oven is smaller roll and shape the crackers in batches because you won’t be able to bake all the cookies at a time. Make sure you cover the dough with damp cloth to prevent from drying out.
- Using cookie cutter cut the crackers into desired shapes and prick the crackers randomly with a help of a fork or skewer. This will prevent the crackers from puffing while baking.
- Using cookie cutter makes the crackers looks fancy and beautiful. If you don’t have cookie cutters, you can just use a knife and cut out square or diamond shapes or use bottle or small container cap to give round shape crackers.
- Place the cut-outs onto the prepared baking tray by leaving some space in between each crackers. Lightly brush the crackers with melted butter.
- Place the baking tray in the middle rack and bake at a preheated oven @180° C for 10-15 minutes. Since oven temperatures vary the baking time will vary, so keep a close watch. The baking times also depend on the thickness of your crackers. Thicker crackers may take longer to bake through.
- Remove the crackers from the oven. Allow to stand in the baking tray for about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a cooling rack and let your crackers cool down completely.
- Store them in airtight container. Enjoy them with your tea/coffee or have it as a snack with your favourite dip.
