home made crackers (it's a lent thing)

Ingrediants:
Hard red wheat
rolled oats
wheat bran
olive oil
freshly ground sea salt
olive oil
water
favorite dried herbs

Soak red wheat in warm water to soften (maybe about an hour). Dry on towel. Place equal parts of red wheat, oats, and wheat bran in small bullet attachment or food processor. Grind finely, but not powdery. Add herbs. I like basil, oregano, and rosemary. Add in a few twists of salt from your costco sea salt grinder, (maybe 8?). Add a pour of olive oil (a table spoon or two). Add water in small amounts till it all sticks together and you have a corse cookie dough consistancy. Be careful not to get it too watered. Place teaspoons of mix on a cookie sheet. Spread thinly with a fork to the size of a cookie. Bake at 350 until crispy.

It turns out that having an actual recipe is a good thing. I don't know why they were way better last night than this morning...
