Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 187kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup All Purpose Flour
- ½ cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 cup Starter Inactive/unfed
- ¼ cup Extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup Cheddar shredded
- ⅓ cup Parmesan
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add all the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 15 times until the ingredients come together and form a sticky dough ball.
- Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Form each dough ball into a disc and place the disc in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
- After at least 1 hour, take one disc out of the refrigerator. Unwrap it and place it between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll the dough into a thin sheet. Add a little more flour if the dough is sticking to the parchment paper too much. Be sure to roll the dough as evenly as possible. I was able to get mine to 8 inch by 12 inches.
- Once the dough is rolled out, cut the dough into the shape crackers you would like. Move the parchment paper to the baking sheet. Prick each cracker with a fork to prevent puffing. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with more salt.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven for 20-25 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through the baking process. The crackers are done when they are slightly browned and are no longer soft. Allow them to cool and serve. Repeat the same process for the other dough disc.
Notes
- Rotating the dough halfway through the cooking process prevents burning and ensures that the crackers all cook at the same time and that they cook evenly.
- Use your favorite type of cheese. Yellow cheddar, white cheddar, Colby Jack, or Monterey Jack are all delicious options.
- Roll the dough as evenly as possible. That will ensure the crackers bake evenly and at the same time.
