1 preheat oven to 350.
2 mix ingredients together in a large bowl (i use a wooden spoon for this, although you could also use the bread hook on a mixer, or even a bread machine).
3 the dough should form a ball -- not too dry, but not too sticky either. if you have mixed for a long time, and there is still a lot of flour in the bowl, add a tiny bit more water; if the dough is too wet, add more flour.
4 cover the ball of dough with a thin dusting of flour, so you can remove it from the bowl.
5 using floured hands, spread the dough onto a greased cookie sheet -- the dough should be thin enough cover the entire sheet (make sure that the cookie sheet is greased so that the dough doesn't stick when you're trying to spread it).
6 bake for 25 minutes at 350 (for a more "cracker-like" snack, bake longer).
7 transfer to a cooling rack to cool, and cut into 12 slices.
