Homemade Parmesan Crackers

Author: Jessica

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour more as needed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese Fresh is best, but does not have to be
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream or half and half more as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly dust with flour, set aside.
  • Place flour, cheese, salt, and butter in a food processor. Pulse until flour and butter are compeltely combined. Add cream and let food processor run until a dough forms (this may take a minute). If dough does not come together and is still crumbly, add more cream 1 teaspoon at a time until dough holds together but is not sticky. (I only needed 1 teaspoon more for my dough.)
  • Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface until ¼-inch thick or as thin as you want, adding flour as needed. Using a pizza cutter, cut out squares and transfer them to your prepared baking sheet. Alternately, you can cut out shapes with a cookie cutter and do the same thing.
  • IMPORTANT STEP: Using a fork, puncture the squares with a fork making holes into the top of your crackers or else air will get trapped and they will puff up!
  • Place in preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes or until moderately browned. If the bottoms are browning a lot quicker than the tops, you make have to flip crackers over and bake for up to an additional 5 minutes. Once done, let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Will stay fresh for up to 3 days stored in an airtight container.
