Fact of the day

Holes in Crackers

Have you ever wondered about the holes in crackers? These are known as docking holes. They help release steam from the dough when it bakes and keep the crackers flat afterwards. If crackers didn’t have holes, large air pockets would form, and the dough would rise similar to bread!

WOD Head

Ubiquitous

Present or found anywhere. For example: ‘Hilda's tutor was a ubiquitous figure in her life.’ Pronounced as YOO-BI-KWUH-TUHS.

Quote of the day

'Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.'

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
