Simple Crackers

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp instant yeast
1 Tbs honey
1 Tbs vegetable oil
1/3-1/2 cups water
toppings

Procedure
Mix everything but the water together in a large bowl. Add just enough water for the dough to com together into a ball. Knead for 10-15 minutes or until you can stretch the dough thin enough with your hands to see light through it without it first breaking. Let rise in a covered oiled bowl for 1-2 hours at room temperature or for up to 12 (or so) in the fridge.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Let dough return to approximately room temperature before rolling as thin as you can directly onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle on toppings. Toppings may include herbs like oregano, basil, marjoram, seeds like flax and sesame, and spices like cinnamon, turmeric, all spice, and fennel.
