Homemade Gluten Free Cheddar Crackers Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE CHEESE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Put Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese in a bowl; add butter. Cover bowl and let sit until warmed to room temperature.
• Combine flour and paprika together in a separate bowl.
• Mix cheese and butter together using your hands. Slowly add flour mixture to cheese-butter mixture until dough holds together in a ball. Roll dough onto a work surface, about 1/8-inch thick. Cut dough into cracker shapes using cookie cutters or a knife; sprinkle salt over dough. Arrange dough pieces on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crackers are crisp, 15 to 18 minutes.

HOMEMADE CHEDDAR CHEESE CRACKERS (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Put almond flour, garlic powder, & cayenne pepper in food processor and pulse several times.
• Add cold butter and pulse till crumbly & combined.
• Then add grated sharp cheddar cheese & pulse till it starts to form a ball.
• Gradually add the water pulsing after each tablespoon.
• Remove ball from food processor and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour prior to use.

GLUTEN FREE SPICY CHEDDAR CRACKERS

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 375 ºF (190 ºC) and line a baking sheet with baking/greaseproof paper.
• In a bowl, sift together the gluten free flour, xanthan gum and salt.
• Add the cubed COLD unsalted butter and, using your hands, rub it into the flour. At the end, you should have fully incorporated the majority of it into the flour, but still have quite a few leftover pea-sized pieces.(The greater the proportion of the butter that hasn't been fully incorporated, the flakier the crackers in the end.)
• Add the grated cheddar and mix well, until it's evenly distributed.
• Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together into a ball. Knead it together briefly.
• At this point, you can add the spices. Knead them into the cracker dough quickly - some marbling is perfectly fine.
• Refrigerate the cracker dough, wrapped in cling film, for about 1/2 hour.
• Roll out the cracker dough (I prefer to do so between two layers of cling film) about 3 mm thick, and cut out the crackers with a cookie cutter of choice (or make them rectangular, cutting them with a knife).I cut them with a 1 inch (2 1/2 cm) diameter round cookie cutter. This gives about 35 gluten free crackers.
• Transfer the cut out crackers onto the lined baking sheet and bake them at 375 ºF (190 ºC) for about 18 - 20 minutes, or until puffed up slightly and deep golden brown.
• Allow to cool, and enjoy!
• The gluten free crackers keep well in a closed container in a cool dry place for 3 - 4 days. (Longer than that, and they can dry out.)

KIDS CAN MAKE: HEALTHY, GLUTEN-FREE CHEESY CRACKERS

Steps:

• Whisk together the egg white, vinegar and 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl; set aside. Refrigerate the egg yolk in a small bowl, covered, until ready to use.
• Pulse the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, mustard, paprika and turmeric in a food processor to combine. Add the butter, Cheddar and Parmesan, and pulse until the butter is completely broken up. Pour in the egg white mixture, and pulse until the dough comes together in a ball. (It's OK if it's a little wet.)
• Transfer the dough to a large piece of plastic wrap, and pat it into a 1/2-inch-thick round. Wrap it up, and refrigerate to chill and firm up the dough, about 1 hour.
• Position 2 oven racks at the top and bottom third of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Roll the dough out on a large piece of parchment (to keep it from sticking to the counter) to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut shapes out with a 1 1/2-inch cookie cutter, and transfer the cutouts to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart. Gather and reroll the scraps and cut out more crackers; repeat with any remaining scraps. (Dust the dough with flour if you find it too sticky.)
• Whisk 2 teaspoons water into the egg yolk. Brush the tops of each cracker with the mixture. Sprinkle each with some sesame seeds, poppy seeds and the tiniest pinch of salt.
• Bake 2 baking sheets of crackers at a time, until the crackers are deep golden brown on the bottom, about 20 minutes, rotating the sheets about halfway through. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Bake the remaining cutouts.
• Store the crackers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze them for up to 1 week.

GLUTEN FREE ROSEMARY CRACKERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine almond flour, salt and rosemary.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil and egg.
• Stir wet ingredients into almond flour mixture until thoroughly combined.
• Roll the dough into a ball and press between 2 sheets of parchment paper to ⅛ inch thickness.
• Remove top piece of parchment paper.
• Transfer the bottom piece with rolled out dough onto baking sheet.
• Cut dough into 2-inch squares with a knife or pizza cutter.
• Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden.
• Let crackers cool on baking sheet for 30 minutes, then serve.
