Ingredients

Instructions

  • Blend all ingredients in a food processor, except for the flaky sea salt. If you prefer a less salty cracker, cut the salt amount in half.
  • Place dough onto plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and split it in half. Roll out half the dough as thin as possible, ?”. I prefer to roll out on a silicone baking mat but you can also use parchment paper. The thinner the better for a crispier cracker.
  • Cut the crackers in 1" squares with a bench scraper or a pasta cutter.
  • Poke a hole in the middle of each cracker with a toothpick.
  • Sprinkle the crackers with flaky sea salt.
  • Do not separate the crackers. Place the parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes.
  • Repeat with the other half of the dough. If you bake the 2 trays together rotate the trays halfway through.
  • After the cheez-its bake let them sit in the turned off oven with the door slightly ajar. This will allow them more time to dry out resulting in a crispier cracker.
