Tips
Roll dough as thin as possible without tearing for maximum crispiness - thinner crackers bake more evenly and achieve better crunch.
Score crackers deeply before baking to ensure clean breaks after cooling - shallow scoring makes breaking difficult.
Let crackers cool completely before breaking apart to prevent crumbling and maintain structural integrity.
