BREAD MACHINE CRACKERS

1 recipe of your favorite bread dough, any type or flavor

Using any bread machine bread recipe place ingredients in machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Select the dough cycle and press start.

Once the dough cycle is finished, remove the dough and punch down on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough in to 4 pieces. Cover three of them with a damp towel and set aside.

Roll out the remaining dough until it is thin, about 1/8-inch thick Then using a fork or a roller docker prick holes in the dough. This is important as it helps prevent the dough from puffing.

Once the dough has been docked, you then take a pizza cutter or a sharp knife and start cutting the dough in to pieces. Place each piece on a lightly oiled baking sheet.

Once the sheet is filled with crackers, place in a 250 degree oven until the crackers are light brown and crisp. As the crackers cool they will crisp even more.

Repeat the above with the other three dough balls. I just cut and cut I don't worry about shape or getting them perfect. You can also use cookie cutters for fancy shapes. If you choose to do this, then after rolling the dough out thin, all it to rest for a few minutes. This allows the dough to relax and so when you cut out the shapes the dough will not shrink.
