Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 platic wrap
  • 2 large sheet pans
  • 2 toothpicks large

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces sharp yellow cheddar cheese shredded (1 and 1/2 cups shredded)
  • 1 cup 125g all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 Tablespoons 85g unsalted butter, cold and cut into 6 pieces
  • 2 Tablespoons cold water
  • optional: sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Process the cheddar cheese add the flour, cornstarch, and salt together in a food processor until combined, for about 30 seconds. After add the butter and process until the mixture resembles wet sand. Add the water and pulse until dough forms large clumps, about 10 pulses. Adjust as needed.
  • Move the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Divide into a 6-inch square. (Just pat with hands.) If the dough feels dry, moisten your fingers with cold water. This will add moisture back into the dough.
  • Gently wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, this will be about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Use whatever you have.
  • Unwrap each dough square. Carefully place each on a lightly floured work surface and roll out into a 9-inch square. Do not worry about it being perfect! Using a fluted pastry wheel, or pizza cutter, trim the dough into a neat 8-inch square. Slice square into 8 strips, each 1 inch wide, then make 8 square slices, each 1 inch wide. Just like at the store, make them the perfect square size. Each 8-inch square will have 64 squares (crackers).
  • Place squares on the prepared baking sheet. Use a large toothpick to poke a hole through the center of each. Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired on top. Bake until golden brown around the edges, about 16-18 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through baking.
  • Remove from the oven and cool completely on the baking sheet.
  • Store leftover crackers at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Notes

We found this was great and if you wanted variety you can use different cheese to add different flavors! We use gouda cheese instead of cheddar and it was super good, couldn't stop eating them!
If you want to have it more crisper slightly
