🧀 Parmesan Rosemary Crackers 🌿

Savor the Crisp: Perfect for Snacking or Entertaining!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1/2 tsp salt 🧂
- 4 tbsp cold butter, cut into chunks (or vegan butter/vegetable substitute) 🧈
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (143 grams)
- 1/2 tsp baking ammonia or baking powder as an alternative 🥄
- 1 tbsp kosher or sea salt for topping 🧂
- 3-4 tbsp cold water
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
- 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary, leaves removed from stems or 3/4 to 1 tsp dry rosemary
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
2. In a food processor, blend flour, the 1/2 tsp salt, black pepper, rosemary, Parmesan cheese, and baking ammonia until well mixed.
3. Introduce the cold butter chunks and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. For a vegan option, opt for plant-based butter.
4. Gradually add cold water while pulsing, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to form a rough ball. Adjust the water as necessary.
5. On a lightly floured surface, gather the dough into a ball and flatten into a disk.
6. Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment or silicone baking mats to about 1/8-inch thickness. Dust lightly with flour if sticking occurs.
7. Cut the dough into 1-inch squares and transfer on the parchment or silicone mat to a baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea or kosher salt.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy around the edges.
