SWEDISH HARD TACK | SIMPLE HARDTACK RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients and gather into a ball. Now, divide into 15 smaller balls. Roll each balls thinly out with your Deep-Notched Linden Swedish Rolling Pin. Rolling Dough:Prepare your bread board or counter to roll out the dough. Sprinkle flour on the surface. Roll each ball one at a time. Gently roll over each dough several times front and back to make sure it is thin enough and that it is perforated nicely. These perforation actually insure that the dough bakes completely through. Plus, since this is a cracker it helps achieve the desired crispness. Each hard tack ball of of dough can be rolled in approximately 4"x 10" pieces and then broken into smaller pieces when eaten. Or, you can divide the original dough into 20+/- balls and roll dough into 3"x 6" pieces that are more of an individual serving size. See what works best for you! Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet for 20 minutes on the first side, turn each hard tack piece over and continue to bake for 8 to 10 more minutes. Remove from baking and transfer to a wire cooling rack. When cool, you may store your Hard Tack in plastic bags, glass jars or vacuumed sealed jars for long term storage. Store on the counter or in the freezer.
