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
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 all-purpose flour, unsalted butter (cut into small cubes), shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and paprika. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Add the sesame seeds and pulse again to evenly distribute them.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Place the crackers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between them.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crisp.
Step 9
Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before storing in an airtight container.
