Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Combine the flour and salt in a food processor. Pulse briefly to mix.
- Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add shredded cheese while pulsing until fully incorporated.
- Add water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing between additions, until the dough begins to form a ball.
- Flatten the dough between two sheets of wax paper and refrigerate for 10-20 minutes. This step ensures the butter firms up, resulting in a puffier texture.
- Roll the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. For crispier crackers, roll slightly thinner, but avoid paper-thin consistency.
- Cut the dough into desired shapes, such as fish or other fun forms. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350°F for 12-20 minutes, depending on thickness, until lightly golden and crisp.
- Cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to one week.
