    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3               cups  whole grain spelt flour
    1           teaspoon  unrefined sea salt
    1                cup  full-fat yogurt -- (try making raw milk yogurt)
       1/2           cup  butter -- plus 1 tablespoon
    2        tablespoons  melted butter

Flaky, tender, crispy - these homemade crackers take little effort; 
however, they're prepared first by soaking whole grain spelt flour in 
fresh yogurt which both tenderizes the flour and improves its 
nutritive qualities. Consider adding dried herbs to the dough for a 
variation in flavor.

Stir three cups whole grain spelt flour and one teaspoon unrefined 
sea salt with one cup full fat yogurt in the bowl of a stand mixer 
equipped with a dough hook. Continue to process until the dough forms 
a smooth ball.

Place the dough in a mixing bowl and cover it with a tea cloth. Leave 
the dough to rest at room temperature overnight and up to twenty-four hours.

Once the dough has rested overnight or up to a full day, preheat the 
oven to 450F.

Knead one-half cup softened butter into the dough, then divide the it 
into four separate balls to make rolling it more manageable.

Flour your working surface and your rolling pin, place one ball of 
dough into the center of your work surface and roll it to 1/8".  Cut 
the dough into rounds with a biscuit cutter, or into triangles or 
squares with a pizza cutter or sharp knife.

Brush each unbaked cracker with melted butter, prick with the tines 
of a fork to prevent puffing and bake in an oven preheated to 450F 
until brown and crispy, about six or seven minutes.

Yield: 120 crackers (12 Servings)
