  4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Remove top layer of plastic wrap. Using a pizza cutter and a clean ruler cut into 1" squares. Re-roll the extra bits of dough. Sprinkle each cracker with a bit of sea salt. Place ΒΌ inch apart on the lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake each sheet separately on the middle rack of the oven until light golden brown, about 14-15 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and allow the crackers to cool completely. The crackers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
