Recipe Type: Entree
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1

THINGS YOU'LL NEED:

  • Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer with Paddle Attachment
  • Baking Sheet
  • Silicone Mat
  • Frying Pan

INGREDIENTS:

Cheez-It Dough (makes 2 Big Cheez-its 8inches by 8 inches)

  • 16 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups  all purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons ice water
  • Neon Orange Food Gel
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the cheddar, butter, neon orange food gel, and salt until soft and homogenous. 
  2. Add the flour and mix on low speed; the dough will be dry and pebbly. 
  3. Slowly add the water and continue to mix as the dough collects into a mass. 
  4. Pat the dough into a flat disk, wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line one baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  6. Using a rolling pin roll out the cracker to a 1/4 inch thickness and then transfer to the baking sheets. 
  7. Use the tip of a chopstick to punch a hole into the center of each square, and add the edges to make it look like a cheez-it cracker.
  8. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the crackers are puffed and browning at the edges. 
  9. Immediately move the crackers to racks to cool.
