If you plan to keep it in the Remove the disks one at a time and use a rolling pin dusted in graham flour to roll out the dough until it is 1/8-inch thick. If you don’t roll the dough thin enough, the crackers will be thick and may not be crunchy. You can see how thin mine are on Spice Islands’ Facebook page.
