A square log works well , a round log ,and one side gets flat in the fridge. Slice off crackers about 1/8 of an inch think and it is a lot easier to get even crackers.. Any thicker they get doughy. Line the cookie sheet with foil, or Silpat , parchment works well too. A little ground Chilipote pepper in place of Cayenne gives a smokey heat.

(i'll be trying this with some different cheeses as well.) i used your recipe as a guide but made these changes:

-did not use food processor. instead, kneaded by hand and turned dough out onto marble surface.

Here in Crapifornia,LOL! We don't have humidity,I sure found out what THAT was when I flew into Dayton last July, and drove to Cleveland! BUT, I love Ohio, the food is great and the Catawba is my fave wine! You can't get it out here!! :( And they may not be my fave group, BUT, Ace of Base DOES have a couple of good tunes!

My problem is that the texture was strange. Do you think that I might have over mixed it? I used a hand mixer. I also wanted to know if you meant to line the cookie sheet with foil, my husband thought you meant to cover it. Thanks for the recipe! I tried these crackers today and the flavor was great.
