Wholewheat Cheddar Crackers Recipes

WHOLE-WHEAT CHEDDAR CRACKERS

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line each of 2 baking sheets with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
• Place the Cheddar, the 1 cup flour and the salt-free seasoning in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until a ball forms.
• Transfer the dough to a floured or parchment-lined work surface. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. Slice into crackers or stamp out shapes with 1/2- to 1-inch cookie cutters. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake until the crackers are deep golden brown on the bottom, switching and rotating the baking sheets halfway through, 15 to 17 minutes total. Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks and let the crackers cool.
• Serve, or store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

100% WHOLE GRAIN CHEEZ-ITS / GOLDFISH

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C. Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor, and run until it forms a ball. It should take about two minutes.
• Then you can roll it out (I do it between two Silpats) or refrigerate it for about 30 minutes so that it'll be easier to handle. You can also roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough to about an eighth of an inch. I like to sprinkle mine with some table salt, but I like them really salty.
• Cut shapes however you wish, and then with a skewer, prick a small hole in the middle to prevent them from puffing up.
• Spread them out on a piece of parchment paper or on a Silpat, leaving just a little room for them to grow.
• Baking time will depend on the size of your shapes, but my mock Cheez-its took 8 minutes. They should just be turning brown at the edges. My elephants took around 13 minutes.

WHOLEWHEAT CHEDDAR CRACKERS

Steps:

• This dough can be made by hand or in a mixer, which is less messy, but it's easy either way. Mix the flour and salt, then add the cheese and thyme and mix again.
• Add the oil and mix till the flour is moistened. Then add the water, between 4 to 5 tbsps, as needed to bring the dough together. It should be wet but not unmanageable.
• Preheat the oven to 175 C and line a baking tray with a silicone mat so that the crackers don't stick.
• To roll the dough out, here's what I found easiest to do. Stretch a large piece of clingfilm out on the kitchen counter. Divide the dough into three equal parts.
• Place one part on the clingfilm, pat it into a disc, then cover with a large sheet of baking paper or parchment paper so that the rolling pin doesn't stick to the dough.
• Now, roll the dough out (between the clingfllm and baking paper) as thin as possible, making sure its even but not so thin that the crackers will tear or burn while baking.
• Peel the baking paper off, trim the edges of the rolled out dough, then slice diagonally to form diamond shaped crackers. Gently lift up each one with a flat metal spatula and place on the baking tray. The crackers can be placed close together as long as they're not touching.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, rotating the tray halfway until the crackers are golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough. It's hard to say how many crackers you will get, it depends on how thin you rolled them and how big each one is, but I'd say 30 to 40 easily.
• Store in an airtight tin for about a week and munch away!

WHOLE WHEAT CHEESE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Blend ingredients and shape into a roll 1-1/4 inches in diameter.
• At this point you can refrigerate or freeze in an airtight container until needed.
• Slice into 1/8 inch slices and prick them several times with a fork.
• Bake on an ungreased baking sheet for 8-10 mins in a 375 degree oven. Watch closely because crackers brown quickly. If the crackers on the outside brown before the center, remove the outer crackers and continue to bake rest.
