Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar shredded (I used Tillamook)
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ stick butter softened and cut into 4 pieces
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more for sprinkling
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons water ice cold
Instructions
- Combine the cheeses, garlic powder, butter, and salt in a mixer using the dough paddle. The dough will be very crumbly.
- Mix in the flour and slowly add in the water (make sure you use very cold water!) until the dough is the consistency of a pie dough.
- Divide the dough into halves and form into discs.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- Place dough on parchment paper or silicon mat and roll out to a 1/8" thickness. Try to make the dough as square as possible.
- Using a pastry wheel, cut the dough into 1" squares.
- Poke a hole in the center of each square with a toothpick and transfer to un-greased baking sheets.
- Bake 10-15 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown.
- Remove to cooling racks and sprinkle with additional salt if desired.
Notes
Try other cheeses for great flavor variations.
