Notes
- For a more flavorful Hardtack, consider using buttermilk or sourdough in place of the water.
- You can also add herbs and spices like basil, oregano, garlic powder, etc. to give the Hardtack a unique flavor.
- If you’d like the Hardtack to be softer and more like bread, bake it for a few minutes less.
- For added flavor, you can brush melted butter on top of the Hardtack after baking.
