Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.

Put into a food-mixer bowl: 100 ml milk, 250 g flour, 10 g butter, 150 g pesto and 1 teaspoon fine (or table) salt.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 3 min.

Knead until evenly mixed.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 hour

Gather the dough into a thick block, wrap in plastic film, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Note: This dough can be made the day before.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Roll out the dough quite thinly (ideally, 2-3 mm or a bare 1/8 inch).

Stage 5 - ⌛ 5 min.

Cut into small rectangles...

Stage 6 - ⌛ 3 min.

...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.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 20 min.

Hi, it seems that there is no baking temperature? Could you please tell me if it's 200°c for the preparation like for reheating the crackers?
