SPICY CORNMEAL CRACKERS
From the Baker's Dozen cookbook. Beautiful crackers! You may cook both sheets of crackers at once if you have 2 baking stones, however, halfway though the baking time, switch the sheets so that they bake more evenly. If you allow for the dough to chill for 1hr+ it may crack and need to sit for 10 minutes to lose its chill. Overmixing the dough will make your crackers tough, so be careful! Prep time does not include chilling.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer use the paddle attachment to combine the water and oil.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt (not the coarse salt), and red pepper flakes.
- Turn the machine onto low and pour in flour mixture.
- Blend just until the dough comes together.
- By hand- mix flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper flakes in a large bowl.
- Mix oil and water in a separate medium bowl.
- Make a well in the flour mixture and pour oil/water into the center.
- Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined, as with muffins. (This may require some hand-kneading to combine thoroughly)
- On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into a flat rectangle.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- If using baking stone (preferred method) place stone in oven about 45 minutes before baking to heat.
- Place the rack in the center of the oven.
- Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment.
- Remove from refrigerator and dough into 2 equal pieces.
- On a lightly floured surface roll dough into a 16x12 inch rectangle.
- (If dough "resists and retracts" let is rest and work with the other piece of dough) Transfer your rectangles to your baking sheet by lightly rolling them around your rolling pin then spreading them on the baking sheets.
- Poke each rectangle all over with a fork.
- If you would like consistent shapes, score lightly with a sharp knife.
- Mist with water and sprinkle with the course salt.
- Bake for about 10 minutes until dough is set- one sheet at a time.

PECAN BLUE CHEESE CRACKERS
Steps:
- In a preheated 350°F oven toast 1/2 cup pecans, about 7 minutes, and cool. Finely chop toasted pecans and separate egg. In a bowl with a fork cream butter and Saga until smooth. Add egg yolk, stirring until combined well. Add flour and chopped pecans and stir until mixture just forms a dough.
- Halve dough and on separate sheets of wax paper form each half into a 12- by 1 1/4-inch log, using wax paper as a guide. Freeze logs, wrapped in wax paper, just until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. and lightly grease 2 large baking sheets.
- Cut logs crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange slices about 1/2 inch apart on baking sheets. Top each cracker with a remaining pecan half, pressing slightly into dough. Brush tops of crackers, including pecans, with lightly beaten egg white. Bake crackers in batches, if necessary, in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden brown, about 12 minutes total. With a spatula transfer crackers to paper towels to blot and transfer to a rack to cool.

Making cheese crackers at home may sound daunting but actually they are quite easy. They require a little more work, then they're worth it. Crackers don't need to be an afterthought. These particular crackers are definitely worthy of their own place on your menu. No weird ingredients or fancy kitchen gadgets needed. You only need some ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen all the time, a cookie cutter, and an oven. That's all! These are super crispy, buttery, and perfect for a snack but if topped and loaded with cheese and herbs, ideal as a side dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Place flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and dill in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine or you can mix manually as well. Add 4 tablespoons melted butter and vegetable oil and pulse to combine.
- With food processor on low speed, slowly drizzle in water until the dough begins to form a ball. Remove dough from food processor and cover with a plastic wrap. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll out dough as thin as possible on a lightly floured surface; thinner than pie crust if possible, thin like crepes works best. Cut the dough into your desired shapes with a cookie cutter, or cut with a knife or pizza cutter and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Let it rest for another 10 minutes.
- Using a toothpick, prick several holes in each cracker. Don't skip this step; you will not have nice, flat crackers if you skip.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, brush the tops with remaining melted butter, and immediately sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Remove from baking sheets and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- While crackers cool, prepare cheese topping: Mix mascarpone, Cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses with parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and pepper. Sprinkle over crackers and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the crackers will taste. Use high-quality blue cornmeal, butter, and cheese for the best results.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before rolling and baking it will help the crackers to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Roll the dough thinly: The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier the crackers will be. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the crackers: A sharp knife will help you to get clean, even cuts. If you don't have a sharp knife, you can use a pizza cutter.
- Bake the crackers until they are golden brown: The crackers should be baked until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
Conclusion:
These blue cornmeal crackers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or just as a quick snack. The blue cornmeal gives the crackers a unique flavor and color, and the cheese and butter make them rich and flavorful.
