Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheese Crackers
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the dry mixture and sprinkle in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese. Mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually pour in water, mixing until a non-sticky dough forms.
  5. Lightly flour a clean surface, and roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  6. Cut the rolled dough into squares or your desired shapes, poking holes in the center of each piece.
  7. Carefully place the cut crackers on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until edges are golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
