Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 (7.7) cups (ounces) shredded dairy-free cheddar cheese (I've used Violife and Vevan brands)
- 1 (135) cup (grams) gfJules Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. paprika
- ¼ tsp. onion powder
- ¼ tsp. nutritional yeast optional
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cane sugar
- 6 (3) Tbs. (ounces) cold dairy-free butter, cut into ½” pieces (I used Miyoko’s Creamery)
- 2 Tbs. cold water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 ℉. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the cheese in a food processor.* Pulse until the cheese crumbles are smaller than a pea.
- Add the gfJules Flour, baking powder, spices, salt, and sugar. Pulse until crumbles form.
- Add the butter and pulse just until the mixture starts forming larger clumps. Add 2 tablespoons of water and pulse until the mixture starts to form into a ball. If dough is too dry, add an additional 1 tablespoon of water. Try not to over-process or the dough will get warm; refrigerate the dough afterwards if that happens.
- Generously flour a counter or pastry mat with gfJules Flour. Turn 1/2 the dough out onto the parchment paper and form it into a ball. Gently flatten the ball with your hands.
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out until it is about 1/8” thick. Use a goldfish cracker cutter to cut out the crackers or simply cut into squares like Cheese-its. Transfer crackers to the lined baking sheets. You can place them fairly close together on the baking sheets. If making goldfish, use a toothpick to poke an eye in each cracker; if making cheese cracker squares, poke the center of each. Repeat with remaining dough while other crackers are baking.
- Bake for approximately 14 minutes. The crackers should be puffy and crispy to the touch.
- Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to a week.
