I have had my TMX for nearly 2 years and have had several attempts at making dry biscuits. It is only now that I have had success. The good thing is that the topping can be whatever you fancy. I just used what I had in the pantry and fridge. I used...
From bottom right in photo...
Nigelia seeds and rock salt, sprinkled on top and rolled in.
Sesame seeds and rock salt, sprinkled on top and rolled in.
Parmesan Cheese, sprinkled on 1/2 when rolled, folded over and rolled again. before cutting.
Sweet soy sauce mixed with Sesame oil, folded as above
Welsh Rarebit, same as above
Sweet Chilli Sauce ,kneaded into dough.
I cut different shapes so I could identify the different flavors. The cup from the TMX gives a very good size.
Set oven at 220 o C, bake for 10/15 mins.
Place in TMX bowl and knead for 3 mins.
300g. bread flour
2 teaspoons of dried yeast.
2 Tablespoons of Olive oil
170 mls of warm water.
When kneaded , place in warm position to double.
Knock down and place in a plastic bag to keep moist.
Work with 1/6 of the dough at a time and roll out to about 8cm x 5 cm.
Apply topping and cut into desired size and shape.
Place on lined oven tray and Spray with oil, ( I used Rice Bran Oil )
Bake until light brown, moving tray around so they brown evenly.
Cool on wire rack, and store in air tight tin.
Makes about 100, depending on size.
Ideal for kiddies lunch boxes, on cheese platter or with dips.
I found the ones with the seeds rolled in stayed crisp and the others with the soft filling went a bit soft.

Denzelmum - Mine stay crispy on day 2. But all gone by day 2 - might have to experiment with my next batch.
JD - Chookie, the crackers I made a while ago went soft the next day but I baked them again for a few minutes and they then stayed crisp to the end. Double baking crackers may be the way to go rather than cooking them longer.
Uni - I am giving these a go now, I will try some without the (spraying with oil) bit.
I am only doing 1/2 a batch, could I use the pasta roller for this Denzelmum. Is the texture soft, hard, dry ?
I wish you could all smell the curry ones. I wish you could all smell the curry ones, Very easy with the pasta roller. My dough was lovely to work with. I have packed them in tin container lined with paper towel, it should help with any moisture.
Denzelmum - Mine is hard dry, made it a bigger than this size on Chookies original recipe, under flat bread. I made golf ball size then flatten with rolling pin.
Chookie - I took note of how Judy managed her Cheese and Herb Biscuits and had one tray in the oven and rolled the other ready to go in. I have had a Pasta roller for 45 years. Found it easy to just hand roll these. If you were making a lot, the pasta machine would probably be good.

Yum.....

Denzelmum, thought your kiddies might like these. My very old one did. ;D ;D ;D
-
They look delicious!
-
Thanks Chookie, they look great.
-
yum chookie...do these stay cracker like chookie or do they go soft after a day or two ???
-
Froze, good question. I found the ones with the seeds rolled in stayed crisp and the others with the soft filling went a bit soft.

Which pasta maker do you have fundj. I was looking at a very expensive one the other day but for the amount of times I would use it, it was way too dear. On the other hand, I don't want a cheapie which won't do the job or breaks after a short time either. I really shouldn't even think of buying one but I hate rolling pastry.
-
this one JD http://www.victoriasbasement.com.au/Product_Detail.aspx?ParCatID=&SubCat1=&SubCat2=&ProductID=67797
-
$20 :o :o, that is so cheap - are you really happy with it.
-
so far so good JD. I do have a big heavy electric Pasta Machines i rarely use .i like my smaller one best
-

JD buy yourself a big painting brush to clean the machine ,only if you decide to get one ;)
-
Mmm, thinking about it. Actually one friend is still waiting for ideas from me for my birthday, I think I'll send her that link and solve her problem.
I think I need to get some tins to store my bikkies in - have some birthday money so I will be off to a homewares shop as soon as I can find a free day.
I love the ideas that I get from this forum, thanks fundj.

JD over here you can get them at iKEA quite cheap too and they do as good a job as any of the others and come with different attachments....maybe someone in oz might know... i have one and it sits attached to my bench next to thermie :)

Fundj, just love the sound of the curry ones, you girls are so inventive . Give you a basic idea and you run with it. Great.
