Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 85 grams Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 70 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (ice cold)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, diced cold butter, grated Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Pulse the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
With the food processor running, slowly add the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough starts to come together.
Remove the dough from the food processor and shape it into a ball. Wrap the ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to chill.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 3mm (1/8 inch) thickness. Use a knife or cookie cutter to cut the dough into squares, rectangles, or your preferred shapes.
Arrange the cut crackers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each for expansion.
Use a fork to prick holes in the center of each cracker to prevent puffing during baking.
Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on a cooling rack before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
