¾ cup grated Romano cheese
1 stick (½ cup) cold unsalted butter

DATE AND OLIVE OIL WINE CRACKERS



Date and Olive Oil Wine Crackers image

From Whole Foods, who say that these crackers are ideal for serving with wine - no wine in them! The dates provide subtle sweetness. I have not tried these yet, but they look intriguing. Prep time does not include chilling time. Update: The WF website says this will work well using a gluten free flour mix instead of all-purpose.

CHEDDAR-PARMESAN CRACKERS



Cheddar-Parmesan Crackers image

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.

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h30m

Yield 3 dozen crackers, serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces cheddar, coarsely grated
2 ounces Parmesan, finely grated
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons water, plus more if needed

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.

SIMPLE WHITE CRACKERS



Simple White Crackers image

This simple white cracker recipe will be your new snacktime staple. You'll have to discard any scraps, since this dough can't be rolled again.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut in pieces
3/4 cup milk
Coarse salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse flour, salt, and sugar until combined. Add butter pieces, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. With the machine running, gradually add milk; process until dough comes together. Cover dough with plastic wrap, and allow to relax at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Unwrap dough, and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll into 17 1/2-by-17 1/2-inch square, 1/16 inch thick (if dough continues to spring back, allow to relax again, covered with plastic wrap, for another 10 minutes). Sprinkle dough lightly with coarse salt. Gently press salt into dough with the rolling pin.
  • Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut dough into 2 1/2-inch squares. With a thin spatula, transfer to ungreased baking sheets. Liberally pierce with fork. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned and crisp, rotating baking sheets if needed for even cooking. Let cool on wire rack. Keep crackers in an airtight container, at room temperature, about 1 week.

Tips:

  • Choose the right wine: The type of wine you use will greatly affect the flavor of your crackers. For a classic flavor, use a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay. For a more robust flavor, use a red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. You can also use sparkling wine or rosé for a unique twist.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your crackers will taste. Use fresh herbs, spices, and cheese. Avoid using pre-packaged or processed ingredients.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the crackers to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Bake the crackers until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy texture. Keep an eye on the crackers while they are baking, as they can burn easily.

Conclusion:

Wine crackers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just enjoying at home. With a variety of flavors and styles to choose from, there is sure to be a wine cracker recipe that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and tasty snack, give wine crackers a try.
