Whole Wheat Cheese Crackers
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 5 Tablespoons Cold Unsalted Butter, Cubed
- 8 ounces, weight Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
- 1/2 teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Garlic Salt
- 3 pinches Extra Kosher Salt (for Sprinkling)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine all of the ingredients (everything except the extra salt for sprinkling) in a food processor and pulse until well combined and large crumbs are sticking together.
- Using your hands, create one large dough ball with the large crumbs (it should stick together easily).
- Roll dough very thinly onto a cutting board.
- You will need to work in batches based on how big your cutting board is.
- Cut rolled dough into small squares and gently lift squares using a knife.
- Place them on a silicone baking mat lined baking sheet.
- (If you dont have one of these, try using non-stick spray on a baking sheet.
- Report back and let us know how that works!)
- If youd like, you can press the edge of a fork in each cracker to create the classic Cheez-It design.
- Sprinkle crackers with extra salt.
- About 3 pinches should do, depending on how salty you like your crackers.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until firm and a golden color (some like them more brown than others).
- Cool and add more salt if needed.
- Store in an airtight container.
- Makes a whoooole lot!
