My Daring Bakers SUCCESSFUL First Challenge! :)

This is my first daring bakers task and I was anticipating what it would be for the past couple of weeks. I must say that I usually bake cakes and cookies and this is the very first time for me to make crackers – Lavash.

Since I am not familiar with bread making/making crackers and using yeast I was already half expecting to do the recipe over and over again in anticipation of failure. I'm glad it did not turn out that way. In fact it turned out to be a good experience for me. I'm not sure if I was kneading the dough correctly though but I must have been doing something right since the lavash came out ok.

I topped the lavash with poppy seeds and sesame seed and sea salt. I decided to run my pizza cutter along in a diamond pattern before baking. They came out crisp and golden brown and snapped easily.

All in all it was a great experience. I would not normally make this as I am a creature of habit – meaning I usually stick to baking the usual cakes and cookies. I’m very glad I attempted to do this and I might add successful at it too. Can't wait for the next daring bakers experience!
