Manufacturing Process of Crunchy Crackers

1. Ingredient Preparation

  • Dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda) are weighed and mixed.

  • Liquid ingredients (water, oil, milk, etc.) are measured separately.

  • Optional ingredients (spices, seeds, cheese, herbs) are prepared.

2. Dough Mixing

  • Ingredients are mixed to form a cohesive, firm dough.

  • Overmixing is avoided to prevent gluten overdevelopment (which can make crackers too tough).

  • Some doughs are allowed to rest (fermentation or conditioning).

3. Sheeting and Rolling

  • Dough is sheeted into thin layers (1–3 mm thick).

  • Laminated dough (multiple layers folded) may be used for extra flakiness.

4. Docking and Cutting

  • Dough is docked (pierced with tiny holes) to prevent puffing during baking.

  • Cut into desired shapes using rollers or stamping cutters.

5. Baking

  • Baked at high temperatures (190°C to 260°C / 375°F to 500°F) for 5–15 minutes.

  • Time and temperature depend on thickness and moisture content.

  • Aim is to reduce moisture to below 4% for a crunchy texture.

6. Cooling

  • Crackers are cooled at room temperature or in cool air tunnels to prevent moisture buildup.

7. Flavor Application (Optional)

  • Some flavors (e.g., cheese powder, seasoning mixes) may be dusted post-baking.

8. Packaging

  • Packaged in moisture-resistant materials (foil or film-lined packs) to retain crispness.

  • Sometimes nitrogen-flushed to extend shelf life.
