Week 8 Say CHEESE- Cheeze-Its Recipe

Cheeze-It's Recipe

8 oz extra-sharp cheddar cheese coarsely shredded

½ stick unsalted butter, room temperature

1 tsp. kosher salt

1 c flour

2 TBS of milk or ice cold water (you made need more)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. 

Using a food processor, mix the cheese, butter, and salt until combined.  Add the flour until it looks like a cheese curds.  Then, slowly add the water or milk until the dough can form a ball when you roll it together.  It may take 15 seconds or so for the dough to make the ball after you add the milk/water so be careful not to add much more (I added a T. more). Pat the dough in the shape of a disk and wrap it in saran wrap. Put in the fridge for an hour (we skipped this step and they turned out fine). Then, roll out the dough until it is 1/8 of an inch. Cut them in 1″ squares. Poke a hole in them with a chopstick and bake for 12 minutes or brown around the edges. Share and enjoy!
