  • Let cool briefly in the pans before turning out onto a rack to cool completely.
    baked loaves for crisp crackers
  • Wrap the completely cooled loaves in plastic or foil and put in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until nice and firm. Note: it's important that the loaves be completely cool before you put them in the freezer.

  • Preheat the oven to 300F.

  • Put the slices in a single layer on a dry baking sheet (you can fit them closely together) and bake for 15 minutes on one side, then flip for another 15 minutes. Note: depending on the thickness of your crackers they could take a little more or a little less time. Watch carefully so that they don't burn.

Notes

  • If using larger dried fruits like apricots or figs, be sure to cut them in smaller pieces.
  • If you don't have buttermilk you can make a substitute using whole milk and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix them together and let sit on the counter for 15 minutes before using.

other ingredients to use:

  • fresh or dried herbs
  • grated aged cheeses
  • different whole grain flours like buckwheat or rye
  • rolled oats
