Time 1h20m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ teaspoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
¾ cup lightly packed shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
⅓ cup lightly packed freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cold water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
  • Place butter into a mixing bowl; add Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix together with the back of a spatula until thoroughly combined.
  • Mix flour into cheese mixture with a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle in cold water, 1 or 2 drops at a time, and mix with spatula until it comes together in a dough that holds its shape when squeezed.
  • Transfer dough to a work surface and press into a thick, flattened disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Roll dough out on a floured work surface to about 1/8-inch thick. Use a pizza cutter to cut 1-inch wide strips from the dough. Cut strips crosswise into rectangles about 1 1/2-inches long. Use the back of a bamboo skewer to punch 5 small holes into each cracker. Arrange crackers onto prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crackers are browned and crisp, about 15 minutes. Let stand about 3 minutes for crackers to cool and release from the foil. Let cool completely before serving.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Snacks     Cracker Recipes

Time 32m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup cold water
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary

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.

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup cooked quinoa
2 teaspoons tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
¼ cup chia seeds
¼ cup sesame seeds
¼ cup flax seeds
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut a small square out of a separate sheet of parchment paper and oil 1 side; set aside.
  • Blend brown rice, quinoa, and tamari in a food processor, adding water if mixture is too dry, until a dough starts to form. Add chia seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds, and salt; pulse until dough is a sticky ball.
  • Roll small pieces of dough into 1/2-inch balls and arrange at least 2 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Place the oiled square of parchment paper, oil-side down, onto a dough ball. Flatten the dough ball into a very thin 2-inch-wide disk by pressing the top of a small jar onto the parchment square. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges of crackers begin to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer crackers to a wire rack. Place the rack onto the baking sheet and return to oven.
  • Bake until crackers are dry and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes more.

Homemade Cheese Crackers Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: shredded cheddar cheese, unsalted butter, salt, flour, ice water

Provided by Claire Nolan

Categories     Snacks

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Using a hand mixer or standing mixer, combine cheese, butter, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Once combined, mix in the flour and add the ice water one tablespoon at a time.
  • The dough should hold together but crumble apart if you break it up in your hand. If it seems too dry, add a little more ice water.
  • Separate dough into two halves and pack together into discs. Wrap in parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Roll out dough to ⅛ of an inch (½ cm), pinching the cracks on the ends.
  • Cut into 1 inch x 1 inch (2 ½ x 2 ½ cm) squares and pierce a hole in the middle of each square for ventilation during baking.
  • Place the separated crackers on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 13 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use cold butter. Cold butter will help to create a flaky cracker. If you use softened butter, the crackers will be more dense.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the crackers tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help to prevent the crackers from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the crackers at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy cracker.
  • Watch the crackers closely while they are baking. They can burn quickly, so it's important to take them out of the oven as soon as they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Crackers are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or with a variety of toppings. They are also a great way to use up leftover dough. With a little practice, you can easily make delicious crackers at home. So next time you're looking for a snack, try making a batch of crackers. You won't be disappointed!
