Directions
Crackers
1. To get coarse flour, blend 6 cups of einkorn berries in a blender (Blend 2-3 cups at a time for 60-90 seconds) 2. Thoroughly mix first five ingredients and 4 cups of flour. 3. Add sourdough start and mix. 4. Add remaining flour until right consistency. It should be one mass pulled completely away from sides of bowl and should not be sticky. 5. Let rest in warm place for 4-6 hours. 6. Roll out dough as thin as possible. Cut into a few large rectangles. (For cheese cracker variation, knead graded cheese into the dough before rolling out.) 7. Place 1-2 rectangles on hot griddle at a time. Once you've laid one down, salt the side that's facing up. When it's starting to bubble slightly and is ready to flip, fork the whole thing thoroughly.

9. Once both sides have browned a little, place on cookie rack to cool. (See above picture for example of correct coloring).
10. Let cool completely before serving or storing in airtight container.
Note: These are crackers. If they are not cooked long enough or not allowed to cool long enough, they will be chewy instead of crunchy.
