Doctor's Crispbreads
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. These pastries will take time, as the starter ferments for at least 4 hours. After kneading the dough, another 1.5 hours are needed, and of course, proofing the products as well. Having gone through such a long process, the pastries will turn out soft, with a thin crust. I hope you will like them. You can serve them with tea or coffee.
