Step 1

Place the shredded cheese, flour, salt, garlic powder, and butter into a large bowl. Mix lightly with a fork then use a pastry blender or your hands to cut all of the ingredients together, breaking the butter into small chunks throughout. Work quickly to ensure the dough stays cold. Add water, 1 tbsp at a time, until the mixture comes together to form a ball. Divide into two discs and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 2

Food Processor: If you have a food processor, it can make this process easier. Pulse the ingredients together, adding water until the dough forms a ball. Divide in half, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 3

Once the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 375ºF. Flour the counter and use a rolling pin to roll out one half of the dough, adding more flour if anything sticks. Roll the dough as thin as you can without seeing through it. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to slice horizontal and vertical lines, creating small squares across the dough (see images in the blog post). Use a bench scraper to lift the squares and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4

Arrange squares so that they do not overlap. Use a chopstick or skewer to create a hole in the centre of each cracker. This is optional and just for the classic Cheez It look. Sprinkle with more salt and repeat with the second dough disc.

Step 5

Bake the Cheez Its at 375ºF for 14-16 minutes until crisp. Keep an eye on them to avoid browning, you want them to be a nice golden orange.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring the crackers to a cooling rack to cool completely. They will crisp up as they cool. Enjoy!
