The disclosure provides an improved process for making flour-based food products that have a final moisture content of less than 3%. In particular, the process comprises preparing uncooked dough from at least flour, starch, and water, heat-pressing the uncooked dough to form a heat-pressed dough sheet, and cooking the hot-pressed dough sheet to form a food product that has a final moisture content of less than about 3%. Advantageously, the food products can maintain a light, bubbly, and crisp texture with rapid mouthmelt.
