Divide into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball as thin as possible on a floured surface using a floured rolling pin. Place sheet onto a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake in a 400 F oven for about 10 minutes or until edges brown. Turn gently and continue cooking until edges turn up and center is stiff, about 10 minutes. Cool on cooking rack. After cooling break into smaller pieces and store in airtight container. Cooking times will vary depending on type and color of cooking sheet and number of sheets in oven.<br /><br />I will add if the product is not hard or dry enough to allow further drying on a rack or dehydrator until very dry to prevent spoiling and to have your homemade hard tack last for future meals.<br /><br />Recipe was taken from a google internet search for homemade hard tack. If having hard tack is a required treat make your own. This offers some measure of independence of the grocery store in the event of an emegency as well. And futher cuts the reliance on Purity foods for your holiday meals, it's probably better for you anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
