Roman Hardtack Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Mix the flour, salt and butter.
  • Add the water, bit at a time, to create a stiff (dry) dough - hardtack is supposed to be completely dry when finished.
  • Roll the dough out until it is 1/2 inch thick. Some sources describe bucellatum as being round, so use an upturned glass to cut out the biscuits. You can cut it as you wish however - I can't imagine the soldiers being too fussy. Punch holes in the dough to allow the air - and moisture - to escape whilst baking. I used a chopstick to do this.
