Homemade Cheese Crackers

Hi, so here I am again. Nothing much happening on this side of the earth. Baking now and then, cooking everyday (almost) and yet nothing to blog? hmm.. I do have things to blog, will get to it.
This week the Bake Along group is at its 29th week, and for this week we made Cheese Crackers. Yeah.. remember those tiny little puffy, crunchy snack? I know its still available in the markets but i have had these only as a child and after a long long long time having it now, and what do u know? made it myself too :D

The dough is pretty simple to make with very little ingredients. If you are a fast worker, unlike me, the whole process will not take more than an hour. I used these tiny little fondant cutters that i have, to cut out the crackers and shifting them one by one from the counter to the baking tray was a bit time consuming, but if you cut it with a pizza cutter like mentioned in the recipe, it will be easier.


You can add flavors of your choice, check the recipe for some suggestions. I added around 6 packs of the Oregano seasoning that you get with Dominos pizza to the dough and it was yumm! Once its cut and ready to bake, put it in the oven and clean up the mess on the counter slowly for 12 mins and your crackers will be ready just when you are done cleaning :P 


Subhashini has some rules in the Bake along group and one of them is, and I Quote "those who have completed 4 consecutive weeks are considered 'Consistent Bakers' and a token of appreciation will be sent to those bakers for showing interest in baking along with the group". So, finally I became one and was sent a beautiful coaster. I have featured it in these pics :)


Back to the recipe, the cheese crackers are quite soft when hot/ warm but as it cools it will become crispy. Also the smaller their size, the crispier they are. So try going small. I went tiny :P as you can see..


So all in all, its a cheesy and crispy snack that you can't stop munching. Try having it with Tea or Coffee, somehow it tastes better. I have no idea why, it just does :D :)


Hope you guys liked this post and try the recipe, here you go- Homemade Cheese Crackers
