Whole Wheat Cheddar Crackers
- 10 ounces, weight Shredded Super Sharp Good Quality Cheddar Cheese
- 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Cut Into Small Pieces
- 3/4 cups Whole Wheat Flour Plus Extra For Flouring Your Work Surface
- 1/2 teaspoons Onion Powder
- 18 teaspoons Salt
- 1.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- 2.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until a dough ball forms.
- I find that the food processor only goes so far and that you will have to do a little mixing with your hands to get the dough in a nice ball.
- 3.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Take the time to get it this thin, thick crackers do not turn out well.
- You will likely have to flour the top of the dough ball to keep the rolling pin from sticking to the dough.
- If the dough is too sticky, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes and then proceed to roll it out.
- 4.
- Once rolled out, cut out your desired shapes and place them on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Take a small knife or a pin and poke 3-5 holes in each cracker, it keeps them from puffing up too much.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are just browning.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 with remaining dough.
- 5.
- Once out of the oven, let the crackers rest on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
