Cuisine: American
Servings: 9 pieces
Ingredients
  • 3 cups white flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup water
Instructions
  1. 1. Combine the flour, salt, and water in a bowl.

    2. After mixing, scoop the dough onto a floured countertop. The dough will be sticky at first. Knead until mixed thoroughly.

    3. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out about 1/2 inch thick into a rectangular shape. Use a sharp knife to cut the sections evenly about 3-inches apart. I used a ruler to keep them square.

    4. Use a nail or something with a sharp point to make the holes.

    5. Preheat the oven to (375°F) = (190°C) degrees. Place the hardtack pieces on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake one side for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes turn the hardtack over and cook the other side for an additional 30 minutes. Set the cookie sheet on a cooling rack after baking until cool.

    6. After it cools, it's ready to store in airtight containers.
