Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese (sharp, shredded)
- 20 grams Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
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, unsalted butter (cut into small cubes), shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and paprika. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the sesame seeds and pulse again to evenly distribute them.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the mixture comes together into a dough. You may need slightly less or more water depending on your flour, so proceed cautiously.
Remove the dough from the food processor and form it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch (3mm) thickness. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into your desired cracker shapes.
Place the crackers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crisp.
Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before storing in an airtight container.
