Ingredients
  

For the Crackers
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour Can substitute with all-purpose flour if needed.
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese Can substitute with low-sodium cheese or other types.
  • 1/4 cup water Adjust water according to dough consistency.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Add the olive oil and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Use a fork or your hands to mix until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  4. Gradually add water, stirring until the dough begins to come together. The dough should be firm but not sticky.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thick.
  6. Cut the dough into small squares or your desired shapes using a knife or cookie cutter.
  7. Use a toothpick to poke a hole in the center of each cracker to allow steam to escape while baking.
  8. Carefully transfer the crackers to the prepared baking sheet, placing them close together but not touching.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  2. Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
