5. Turn out the dough onto countertop with lightly dusted flour.
5. Roll to small circle and sprinkle the seeds, roll it again to as thin as possible.  Cut pieces of dough to you desired size you need.
6. Brush with Olive oil. Slightly here and there sprinkle with Seasalt and rosemary mixture.
7. Place the cut pieces on the sheets.
8. Bake for about 6 or 7 minutes, until blistered, golden and dry.
9. Remove from baking sheet and let cool on wire rack.








Note:

Number of crackers depends on the size you cut.  This yields a lot, may be you half the recipe and try for yourself.
