Cheddar Crackers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Sift together the flours, salt and sugar, and place in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the butter, and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Add the cheese, and pulse several times to distribute it evenly throughout the flour mixture. Turn on the food processor, and add the olive oil and eggs. Stop the machine when the dough comes together. It will be soft and somewhat sticky. If it seems very moist, add another tablespoon of flour and pulse until incorporated.
• Lightly flour your hands and your work surface. Scrape out the dough and form two equal pieces. Shape into rounds, wrap in plastic and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Roll out each piece of dough between pieces of lightly floured parchment. Cut into squares or rectangles, and place on the parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, switching the pans after the first 10 minutes from front to back and top to bottom. They will foam in the oven because of the cheese, but that will subside and they will bake crisply. The crackers are done when they are lightly browned. Remove from the oven, and cool on racks. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Place the flour, kosher salt and baking powder in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse to mix. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the Cheddar, jalapeno and chipotle chili powder and pulse again. With the food processor running, add the ice water all at once. Continue pulsing until the mixture begins to form a ball. Dump the dough onto a floured board and roll it into a 14-inch log. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Cut the dough in 3/8-inch-thick slices. Place the crackers on the prepared sheet pan, brush with the egg wash and sprinkle with the fleur de sel. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

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!

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line each of 2 baking sheets with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
• Place the Cheddar, the 1 cup flour and the salt-free seasoning in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until a ball forms.
• Transfer the dough to a floured or parchment-lined work surface. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. Slice into crackers or stamp out shapes with 1/2- to 1-inch cookie cutters. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake until the crackers are deep golden brown on the bottom, switching and rotating the baking sheets halfway through, 15 to 17 minutes total. Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks and let the crackers cool.
• Serve, or store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, Cheddar, smoked paprika, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until incorporated. Add the heavy cream and process until the dough forms a ball.
• Lightly flour a sheet of parchment paper and place the dough on top. Shape the dough with your hands into a flat rectangle, then lightly flour the dough. Roll it out with a rolling pin until it is a little less than 1/4 inch thick (about a 12-by-9-inch rectangle). Cut the dough into squares or rectangles and carefully transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the dough pieces with about 1/4 teaspoon more salt, gently pressing it into the surface, then dust very lightly with more smoked paprika. Bake until light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Combine flour, salt, and red pepper flakes in large bowl; add Cheddar cheese. Toss until cheese is coated. Pour in melted butter; stir until mixture is moist and crumbly. Add rice cereal and knead by hand until dough is well blended.
• Roll dough into small 1/2-inch balls; arrange on a baking sheet. Flatten each ball with a fork.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light and crispy, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine cheese and butter in food processor; pulse till well blended.
• Add flour, sugar, salt and cayenne; pulse several times until well mixed. Add water; pulse until mixture comes together and forms a dough.
• Turn dough out onto a clean surface and knead until smooth. Form into a ball, divide in half and shape each half into a 8 inch log. Wrap each in plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
• Heat oven to 375. Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Remove dough logs and slice into 1/4 in disks and place on prepared baking sheets. Prick top of crackers with a toothpick a few times. Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until just golden on the edge.
