2. Gather the dough into a ball and divide it in half.  Place each half between sheets of parchment paper.  Roll the dough out as thin as you can. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the dough.  Lightly roll the salt and pepper into the dough.

3.  Place the dough and the lower piece of parchment paper on baking sheets.  Bake 30 minutes until the crackers are crisp and golden brown.
