Ingredients

• 120 grams Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 95 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 60 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for flavor)
• 2 tablespoons Ice water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, gluten-free all-purpose flour, cold cubed butter, salt, and paprika, if using. Pulse until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.

Step 3

Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Press it into a disc, wrap it up, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.

Step 5

Once chilled, roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife or a small cookie cutter, cut the dough into desired shapes (e.g., squares, circles, or fun designs). Transfer the shapes to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Use a toothpick or skewer to poke small holes in the center of each cracker to prevent puffing during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crisp.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool.

Step 10

Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
