Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 4 tbsp butter cold
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour

  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp water filtered

Method
 

  1. Combine cheese, butter, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder in a food processor.
  2. Add flour and continue mixing until crumbled.
  3. Gradually add water and continue mixing until a dough forms.
  4. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 1 – 2hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
  6. Roll out dough and slice into squares. (I added a hole to the center using a wooden skewer)
  7. Bake for 15 – 17 minutes, or when the crackers start to turn golden brown.
  8. Enjoy!

Notes

Chef Note: I like to use a block of cheese and grate it myself. The prepackaged shredded cheese has additional ingredients used in processing, and I wanted to avoid processed cheese.
Chef Note: Before I get hate mail about using whole wheat flour, this is just what I have found works best. I have played around with almond flour and coconut flour and have found whole wheat flour just works best here.
Chef Note: You can completely change the flavor profile by mixing in some of your favorite spices. You could even kick up the heat or change the cheese. Be creative!
