Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and fine sea salt until well combined.
- Add the cold unsalted butter cubes to the flour mixture and cut into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add 2–4 tablespoons of cold water until the dough starts to come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the chilled dough into a thin rectangle (1/16 to 1/8 inch thick).
- Cut into desired cracker shapes and poke holes to prevent puffing.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until deeply golden brown and crisp, rotating halfway through.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before storing.
