Crazy Cummin Cheese Crackers

I call them crazy, because when I used a pizza cutter to cut  the dough, I couldn't keep a good straight line! So crazy it is! I really enjoy the cumin cheese from Dutch Girl. I make a black bean/raisin bread that I make grilled cheese. It is delish! These crackers go great with the Chick pea and potato soup. Or just as a snack!


1/2 c Whole wheat flour
1/2 c unbleached AP flour
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
4 Tbsp Kriemhild Butter, cold and cut into cubes
1/4 lb Dutch Girl Cumin cheese, grated
4-6 tbsp cold water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place flours, salt, pepper and grated cheese into a food processor. Add in butter, and pulse 7-8 times. With processor running, add in water a tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a ball.

Roll dough out between to sheets of parchment paper, about 1/8" thick. Once the dough is rolled out, remove top sheet of parchment and slide the dough sheet onto a large baking sheet pan. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut into desired sizes (avoid very small ones, so they don't burn).

Prick holes, using a fork, all across the the dough.

Sprinkle with kosher salt or sea salt.

Bake for 20-ish minutes (rotate tray half way through baking time). Or until lightly golden and slightly crisp.

Allow to cool on sheet for 1-2 minutes. Then remove crackers to a cooling rack. (they will crisp more as they cool.) Break along cut lines. Store in a air tight container.
