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.

SOUTH BEACH PARMESAN CRACKERS
There are tons of things that are so much better with bread or crackers. But on South Beach, these are clearly off limits on Phase One. I discoved Parmesan Crackers at my Roche Bros. by "The Kitchen Table Bakers", however they are a little pricey. Instead I came up with this recipe to make at home. I also season them with whatever might fit my meal (exp Italian seasonings, diced garlic, tex-mex seasonings and whatever else you can come up with) Be creative! I use them anywhere I would use crackers: with tuna fish, dips, with cold cuts etc. Enjoy! (Note, they will be salty...parmesan is a salty cheese. If you don't like parmesan as a cheese, these aren't for you)

PARMESAN CRACKERS
I got this recipe for these delectable wheat crackers from a friend in Australia. It's become a standard for party canapes as well as a good snack by itself.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit or 180 celcius.
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Sift flour into a bowl.
- Stir in Parmesan and parsley.
- Add egg yolk, olive oil and 2 tablespoons water.
- Stir well until combined.
- Turn dough onto floured surface and knead until smooth.
- Divide dough into two portions.
- Roll out one portion between two sheets of parchment paper until it is 5 centimeters thick.
- Use a 5 centimeter fluted cutter to cut out crackers.
- (If you use a larger cutter, of course there'll be fewer crackers and you can determine how many you want to make.) Carefully place on the lined tray and bake for 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown.
- Set aside for 10 minutes to cool on the tray before transfering to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat this process with the remaining portion of dough.
PARMESAN CHEESE CRACKERS
Steps:
- In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth and fluffy. Add the flour, cheese, and pepper and mix at low speed until blended. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 2 hours. (The recipe can be made up to this point and kept refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.) Remove the dough from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before rolling out.
- On well-floured parchment paper, roll out the dough into a rough rectangle, a little less than 1/4-inch thick. The dough will be somewhat delicate and may crack in places, but you can just push the edges together with your fingers. Carefully transfer the dough to the cookie sheet and prick evenly all over with a fork. Cut with a pizza cutter or a knife into 1 1/2-inch squares, making a grid.
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven, just until the crackers turn golden, 15 to 20 minutes. As they come out of the oven, run your pizza cutter or knife again along the grid to separate the crackers (the edges will have baked together a little bit in the oven). Let cool on the pan, then gently separate the crackers with your hands. They will be slightly fragile. Cut the figs in half and serve with the crackers.
CHEDDAR-PARMESAN CRACKERS
These cheesy, buttery gems will likely become a mainstay in your repertoire. Not only are they crispy, rich and, well, addictive, they can be partially made up to a month in advance. That's because once the dough is made it can be frozen and simply "cut to order" as you need it. Just be sure to freeze it in small portions so that you don't have to defrost it all at once. Although these crackers are great plain, you can draw on the age-old "apples and cheddar" theme by topping them with a dollop of apple or pear butter.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, place all ingredients except the butter and water. Pulse 5 times. Add the butter and pulse again until the butter pieces are the size of BBs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse just until the dough holds together. If the dough is still crumbly, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the right consistency.
- Turn the dough out onto a large piece of waxed paper. Roll the dough into a log, 9 to 10 inches long, and square off the ends. Refrigerate, well wrapped, for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. Or freeze it for up to 1 month. (You may want to cut the log in half or in thirds to freeze if you think you will want to defrost a smaller amount at a time.)
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- To make the crackers, cut the log into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet 1-inch apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crackers are a light golden color. Turn the crackers and bake for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until they are golden around the edges. Cool on a rack. Serve at room temperature.

PARMESAN CRACKERS
These are dainty little cheese crackers with a pungent, meaty, Parmesan edge. It is that extra step of browning the crackers in a hot oven that lends them so much character. It caramelizes the cheese, giving it an earthy, almost porcinilike intensity. That and using good Parmigiano-Reggiano are the secrets to success. The technique, no rolling pin necessary, is child's play. The result is resolutely adult -- especially when you serve them with wine.

Steps:
- In a food processor, combine ingredients, and pulse until dough comes together. Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, and form it into a log 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease two baking sheets. Cut log into 1/4-inch-thick crackers, and place them an inch apart on sheets. Bake until firm, about 12 to 13 minutes. Remove baking sheets from oven, and raise temperature to 500 degrees. When temperature comes up to correct heat, return sheets to oven, and bake for 3 minutes more, or until crackers are deeply golden brown all over. Let cool on a wire rack.

Steps:
- Combine flour, Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, and mustard for dough in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until mixture is well combined and resembles bread crumbs. Pour 1/2 of the cream in slowly, with the processor running, until combined. Continue adding remaining cream, a little at a time, until dough has come together in clumps and feels like a damp, but not sticky, slightly over-processed pastry dough.
- Gather dough into a ball, then roll into a log. Wrap in plastic and place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes or longer.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Cut dough into quarters, then cut each quarter into 8 pieces. Lightly flour each piece as needed and feed through one of the thinnest settings of a pasta roller to make irregularly shaped, oblong crackers that are about 1/16 inch thick, 2 inches wide, and 8 inches long. Alternatively, use a rolling pin to roll dough out on a lightly floured countertop, and cut into any shape you wish.
- Working in batches, lay crackers on a baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Bake each batch in the preheated oven until crackers are browned at the edges, golden in the middle, and fully cooked through, 8 to 9 minutes. They will crisp as they cool.

Tips:
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily combine the ingredients for the dough.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mix the dough by hand. Just be sure to mix it until it is well combined and smooth.
- The dough should be slightly sticky. If it is too dry, add a little more water. If it is too wet, add a little more almond flour.
- Roll the dough out thinly. The thinner the dough is, the crispier the crackers will be.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into crackers.
- Bake the crackers in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Let the crackers cool completely before serving.
- Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature.
