They can be eaten on their own with dips, such as hot tomato or houmous.

| 2 |  | Knead until evenly mixed. | 3 min. |

| 5 |  | Cut into small rectangles... | 5 min. |
| 6 |  | ...and arrange on a baking sheet. Though it is not essential, at this stage, you can sprinkle a little grated parmesan over the crackers, if you wish. | 3 min. |
