GRMaking my kids Cheez-its. #cheezits #homemade #realfood
Recipe👇My kids don’t know what a Cheezit tastes like because I’ve don’t allow ultra processed snacks — they lead to an altered gut microbiome and consequently negative health conditions and behavioral issues.
Comment “snacks” and I’ll DM you some of my favorite, homemade, good ingredient snacks for kids that I make from scratch!
Cheez-Its
2.5 cups freshly milled einkorn flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp turmeric
16oz cheese, shredded (raw cheddar, parmigiana reggiano)
1/2 stick child butter, chopped
Flaky sea salt
Using a food processor, blend the flour, spices, salt and shredded cheese until sandy. Then pulse in the chopped butter until crumbles of dough form. Drizzle in 1 tsp milk and pulse just until dough forms into a ball.
Transfer dough to parchment paper and cut in half. Set half of dough aside. Place another piece of paper on top and roll out until 1/4” thick. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the fridge for 5-10 minutes.
Remove top sheet of paper from the dough. Use a pastry cutter to make cuts into the dough the width and height of a cheezit. Decorate each cheezit by poking hole in the center and fluting the edges with a fork. Transfer each cracker to a baking sheet. Use a dough scraper or cheese slicer to help lift the dough from the paper. Carefully transfer to baking sheet. Sprinkle with flaky salt.
Bake at 325F for about 15 minutes - rotating in between if necessary. Crackers should be golden around the edges, not pale. Allow to cool before moving to a cooling rack to crisp up.
