Okay, here is my post about making whole wheat crackers with cheese:
So, I decided to make some whole wheat crackers with cheese today. I mean, who doesn’t love a good cracker, right? I’ve been trying to cut back on processed foods, you know, the stuff that comes in shiny packages and lasts forever. And I figured, why not make my own crackers? At least I know what’s going in them.
First, I gathered all my ingredients. I grabbed some whole wheat flour, a bit of salt, some water, and of course, cheese. I used cheddar because that’s what I had in the fridge, but you could use any kind you like. Parmesan would probably be amazing, but I think a soft cheese would not work well.
Next, I mixed the flour and salt in a big bowl. Then, I slowly added the water, mixing it all together until it formed a dough. It was a bit sticky at first, but I just kept kneading it on a floured surface until it became smooth and elastic. It took a bit of elbow grease, but hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
Once the dough was ready, I rolled it out as thin as I could. I mean, we’re talking paper-thin here. The thinner you roll it, the crispier your crackers will be. Then, I grated the cheese and sprinkled it all over the dough. I might have gone a bit overboard with the cheese, but there is no such thing as too much cheese.
After that, I carefully folded the dough in half, enclosing the cheese inside. Then, I rolled it out again, making sure the cheese was evenly distributed. I used a pizza cutter to cut the dough into little squares, but you could use a knife or even cookie cutters if you’re feeling fancy.
I placed the crackers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and popped them into a preheated oven. I baked them for about 15-20 minutes, or until they were golden brown and crispy. You have to keep an eye on them, though, because they can burn pretty quickly.
- whole wheat flour
- salt
- water
- cheddar cheese
When they were done, I took them out of the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. I was so impatient, I couldn’t help but trying one while it was still warm. And let me tell you, they were delicious! They were crispy, cheesy, and had that nice, nutty flavor from the whole wheat flour.
My final thought
I definitely think homemade crackers are the way to go. Sure, it takes
