Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2-3 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)

Preparation Tips

  1. Use Cold Butter: Make sure your butter is cold when mixing it into the dough. This will help create a flaky, crisp texture for your crackers.
  2. Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps to firm it up, making it easier to roll out and shape the crackers.
  3. Roll Thin: For the crispiest crackers, roll the dough as thin as possible without it tearing. Thin crackers will bake up crunchier and more delicate.
  4. Add Your Favorite Cheese: While sharp cheddar works perfectly, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like parmesan, gouda, or a blend for extra flavor.
