Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 1 1/4 cups
- Grated Parmesan cheese: 1 cup
- Fresh rosemary, finely chopped: 2 tablespoons
- Unsalted butter, cold and cubed: 1/2 cup (1 stick)
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Cold water: 3-4 tablespoons
- Garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- Sea salt: 1/2 teaspoon, plus more for sprinkling
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the flour, Parmesan cheese, rosemary, garlic powder, and salt.
- Step 3: Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 4: Gradually add the olive oil and cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Step 5: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough very thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). Cut into desired shapes using a pizza cutter or cookie cutters.
- Step 6: Transfer the crackers to the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle with additional sea salt, and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Let cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
- Store completely cooled crackers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness for up to a week.
- A quick warm-up in a 300°F (150°C) oven for a few minutes will revive slightly softened crackers.
- Serve these savory crackers with a creamy goat cheese and a drizzle of honey for an elegant appetizer.
- For the best texture, ensure your butter is very cold before cutting it into the flour mixture; this helps create flaky layers.
