Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
- Place flour, salt, sugar, and grated cheese in a mixing bowl. Stir together until well mixed. Add rosemary; drizzle with olive oil and add water. Mix with a fork until mixture comes together in a fairly sticky dough and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer dough onto floured surface and add flour as you knead the dough. Knead until it no longer sticks to work surface, 4 to 5 minutes. Divide dough in half.
- Dust work surface with flour. Roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness or less. Brush or mist surface of dough very lightly with water. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Prick the entire surface of dough with the tines of a fork to prevent crackers from puffing too much when baking.
- Cut each rolled out half into about 30 pieces with a pizza wheel. You can cut them out in squares, rectangles, or triangles--your choice. Transfer onto prepared baking sheet with a bench scraper or your floured fingers (dough will be very sticky).
- Bake in preheated oven until perfectly browned and crunchy, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness.

Steps:
- Set your oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix with your hands to combine to a rough dough. If it's sticky, add a little more flour so it's nice and smooth.
- On a sheet of baking parchment sprinkled with flour, roll the dough out to the thickness of a £1 coin, then use a pizza cutter or knife and cut it into squares.
- Brush the squares with a little water and sprinkle with some salt and the 1 tsp chopped rosemary. Prick each square once in the middle with a fork.
- Transfer the baking parchment straight onto a baking sheet, separate each square of dough a little, and bake in the hot oven for 12-15 mins or until the crackers are slightly golden. Cool, then store in a tin for up to two weeks.

Steps:
- Combine flour, salt, pepper, and rosemary in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cheese; pulse until combined. Add 1 tablespoon of the sour cream at a time, pulsing each time to combine. Process until dough comes together and is well combined.
- Transfer dough to a work surface. Shape dough into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Slice chilled log into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Transfer slices to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Dip a sprig of rosemary into egg white, and place in center of a cracker slice; repeat with remaining rosemary and crackers. Bake immediately, rotating sheet once, until crackers are golden brown and firm in the center, 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
PARMESAN-ROSEMARY CRACKERS
Steps:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, stir together 1/4 cup warm water with the yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add olive oil, flour, salt, honey, and remaining 3/4 cup warm water. Attach to a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and mix on low speed for 1 minute. Switch to the dough hook, and mix on medium-low speed until dough is soft but not tacky, 2 minutes. Add cheese and mix for 1 minute more.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; knead four or five times, forming into a ball. Cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap; let rest for 10 minutes. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight. Meanwhile, line two baking sheets with parchment.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide dough into 16 equal pieces. Using a pasta machine, pass dough through the second-thinnest setting, dusting generously with flour. Each piece should be about 8 by 5 inches. (Alternatively, you can roll out the dough with a rolling pin.) Transfer pieces of dough to prepared baking sheets. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water; brush over dough. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and additional cheese, and top with rosemary.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough. Crackers can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Parmesan-Rosemary Crackers how-to
- After being rolled out into thin sheets, the dough is brushed with egg wash then sprinkled with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, ground black pepper, salt, and fresh rosemary.
Tips:
- Choose the right rosemary. Use fresh rosemary sprigs for the best flavor. If using dried rosemary, use half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Chop the rosemary finely. This will help distribute the flavor evenly throughout the crackers.
- Use a good quality butter. The butter will add richness and flavor to the crackers.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the crackers hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the crackers until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are crispy and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Rosemary crackers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or simply as a snack to enjoy at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of rosemary crackers that will be sure to please everyone.
