Rosemary Parmesan Crackers
Crispy, flavorful crackers infused with rosemary and parmesan cheese, perfect for dipping into your favorite soup or stew.
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
Mixing the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour, Parmesan cheese, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
Adding Liquids
Add the olive oil and water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.
Kneading and Resting
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax and the flavors to meld.
Rolling and Cutting
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough as thinly as possible. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into desired shapes (squares, rectangles, or triangles).
Baking
Transfer the crackers to the prepared baking sheet. Prick each cracker several times with a fork to prevent them from puffing up too much during baking. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Watch them closely, as they can burn quickly.
Cooling and Serving
Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
