Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time1 hour
Total Time1 hour 10 minutes
Servings: 6 crackers

Equipment

  • 1 knife
  • 1 Mixing spoon
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Clean nail or straw

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cornmeal flour bulgur flour was used in the original recipe
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
  • Mix together the flour and salt.
  • Gradually pour in the cup of water.
  • Stir the doomsday cracker mixture to thoroughly combine.
  • Knead the dough gently but completely with your hands. It will be sticky at first but should become smooth out when the kneading is complete. Sprinkle a pinch of flour on your hands if the cracker dough sticks to it during the kneading process.
  • Lay out wax paper on the kitchen counter, or sprinkle a small amount of flour on the counter.
  • Place the dough onto the prepared spot and roll it out so it is about ½ of an inch thick.
  • Cut the dough into six to nine equal squares or rectangles.
  • Poke the clean nail or straw completely through the cracker to make a grid of four round holes on each one.
  • Put the crackers onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake the doomsday crackers for 30 minutes.
  • Gently turn the crackers over and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Remove the survival crackers from the oven and let them cool thoroughly.

Notes

The crackers will be slightly browned on top when they are done. Place the doomsday survival food in either a Mylar or a Ziploc bag and store in a cool dry place.
