Bath Oliver Crackers Recipe:
Bath Oliver Crackers
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup milk
1/4 oz. package active dry yeast or 3/5 oz
(18 g) cake fresh yeast
3 cups flour sifted with a pinch of salt
Stir the butter and milk in a saucepan over low heat
until the butter is melted; cool until tepid and add
the yeast. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes, or
until the yeast foams. Mix the flour in very smoothly;
knead the dough well, wrap it in a warmed cloth, put
it into a bowl and place it in a warm place for 15
minutes. Roll out the dough eight or nine times,
folding it in thirds after each rolling. Finally roll
it out 1/4-inch thick Stamp it into crackers with a
biscuit cutter; prick them well with a fork, and bake
them on baking sheets in a preheated 350-degree oven
until the crackers are lightly browned--about 30
minutes.
