Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, add all ingredients. Mix well to combine evenly. Allow to sit for 10 minutes or more ... until mixture "clumps" up and forms a thick "batter".
At this point, you can proceed to bake the crackers, or you could let the cracker mixture soak for 2 hours or so... which is what I ended up doing. The mixture does get drier, but it still works.
Preheat oven to 170 deg F
2. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper, and place cracker mixture in center. With wet or oiled hands press the mixture into a thin even layer... about 1/4 inch thick. You will need to wet your hands often, as the mixture can be quite sticky.
3. Place pan in preheated oven and bake for 60-80 minutes. Turn cracker sheet over and bake an additional 60-80 minutes... or until you notice the cracker sheet is no longer soft in the center.
When turning the cracker sheet over, you might find it helpful to use another baking sheet of the same size to help you turn it over without breaking in pieces.
4. Turn oven off and allow cracker sheet to dry further in the oven with the residual heat. I leave mine overnight...
I placed a range in baking time, because this depends on how thick or thin the cracker was spread... and all ovens are different. Mine took about 70 minutes on each side.
