  • In a medium bowl, add water one teaspoon at a time using just enough water until dough forms (about 3 tablespoons total).
  • Knead dough a few times and form into a circle.
  • Cut dough into 8 equal sections, and cover with a wet paper towel to keep dough from drying out while you work.

  • Place in a single layer on ungreased baking pan and bake 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or until dry and lightly browned.
  • Cool completely, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Store at room temperature in an air-tight container.
