I know it sounds stupid, but I cannot figure out how to make crackers.
"Joy of Cooking" doesn't even have a recipe!
The NC restaurant "Denny's" used to have homemade crackers and ranch
dressing free with their drinks during happy hour when I was in college in
the 1980s, and I'd like to re-create those crackers for my wife's hummus.
So anybody got a recipe?

I understand that "saltine" type crackers are made with some kind of
fermentation process taking several days. It's not very doable at home.

I'm sorry to hear that your version doesn't -- what edition/year are
you using? I'm working from the '64 version and there are several
cracker recipes in it -- I hate that they've taken away some of the
basics in later editions.

I've got probably more than a dozen recipes for various types of
crackers; if you can describe in a bit more detail what you're looking
for, I'll be happy to see if I have something similar and post the
recipe(s).

Can you provide a link or reference on this? None of the saltine/soda
cracker-type recipes I have require any sort of long-term resting or
fermentation.

There is one on this site:

http://freebiesandstuff.freeyellow.com/crackers.html

and a link to another site with 20 recipes.

Sorry, no. I read that some years ago.
