TOTAL TIME
1
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small pieces.
2
In a food processor, combine the shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese, butter, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Pulse for a few seconds until the mixture comes together.
3
Add the whole-wheat flour and all-purpose flour one at a time, processing until the mixture becomes crumbly.
4
Pour in the cold water and process until a large dough ball forms. The dough should be soft and malleable.
SPICY VARIATION
5
If you're making the spicy crackers, add the garlic powder and cayenne pepper to the dough. Knead it in with your hands until well incorporated.
BASE
6
Split the dough into two balls, flatten into disks, and wrap each disk with plastic wrap. Let chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
7
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
8
Roll out the dough until it's thin but not paper-thin, about 1/8-inch thick.
9
Cut the crackers using a cookie cutter of your choice, or use a knife to cut squares or triangles. If they are cut too thick, the crackers will be less crispy and more bread-like.
10
Place the cutouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and repeat with the second disk of dough.
SPICY VARIATION
11
If making the spicy crackers, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne over the crackers.
BASE
12
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
13
Keep in an airtight container for 2-3 days, although they are best when fresh. Re-crisp in the oven or toaster oven if desired.
