Homemade crackers and bread sticks with Michelle Darmody

During the holiday season it is always handy to have cheese, dips and patés to hand. Crackers are perfect vessels for these tasty treats and you can make them at home and store them for a week or so in an airtight box. 

Different flours add very differing flavours to crackers, rye flours are used in Scandinavian countries and they bake their crackers to a very hard crisp. This helps to lengthen the shelf-life

through their cold, harsh, winter months.
