HOMEMADE CHEEZ ITS

Categories     Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 275

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded (I used sharp cheddar)
4 Tbsp butter, cold
1 cup flour (I used whole wheat)
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp garlic powder
2-3 Tbsp water

Steps:

  • Combine shredded cheese, butter, salt, onion powder and garlic powder in a food processor, if available. Otherwise, combine ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Add flour and again pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Add 2 Tbsp of water and pulse (or mix using your hands) until the mixture resembles dough. This took a couple of minutes in my food processor, and a little bit longer using my hands. Add the remaining tablespoon of water if the dough is too dry.
  • Divide the dough into thirds (or roll into logs), cover and put in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Either roll out the dough and cut into squares or sliced pieces from the logs and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes. Crackers are done when they are a light to a medium golden brown.

HOMEMADE CHEEZ-ITS RECIPE

Because they incorporate cream instead of the more common butter, these homemade crackers brown more flavorfully as they bake, creating a deep, nutty, grilled cheese sort of vibe. Eat 'em out of hand, or serve with hearty soups, stews, and chilis.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 12

For the Dough:
6 3/4 ounces all-purpose flour (1 1/3 cups; 190g), plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons (6g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt, use half as much by volume or use the same weight
1 (8-ounce; 227g) block cheddar cheese, preferably sharp and yellow, grated finely (see note)
8 ounces heavy cream (1 cup; 225g)
For the Egg Wash:
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/2 ounce water (1 tablespoon; 15g)
1/4 teaspoon (1g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the Dough: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 375°F (190°C). Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl. Toss cheddar with dry ingredients until well combined. Stir in cream, mixing with a flexible spatula until dough comes together. Transfer to a lightly floured surface, knead until pliable and smooth, then divide in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a roughly 15- by 11-inch rectangle, no more than 1/8-inch thick. Transfer each to a parchment-lined half sheet pan, then cut into 1-inch squares using a fluted pastry wheel.
  • For the Egg Wash: Whisk egg, yolk, water, and salt together in a small bowl. Brush over prepared dough, then sprinkle with additional salt to taste. Using a bamboo skewer or chopstick, press a small indentation into the center of each dough square. (This is strictly for a Cheez-It look and is therefore optional.) Bake until golden brown, about 24 minutes. Cool to room temperature and enjoy immediately, or store up to 1 month in an airtight container at room temperature.

RAW CHEEZ ITZ

Categories     Breads

Time 12h10m

Yield 17 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sunflower seeds, soaked in water 4 hours
1 cup brazil nut, soaked in water 4 hours
1 cup almonds, soaked in water 4 hours
1 tomatoes
1 cup red pepper, diced
1/4 cup flax seed, ground
1 pinch cumin
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Requires preparation! Soak sunflower seeds, brazil nuts, and almonds for 4 hours.
  • Add all ingredients to food processor and process until as smooth as desired.
  • Spread out on teflex sheet, fruit roll up tray, or waxed paper and dehydrate for about 24 hours. After approximately 8 hours you can cut the crackers to desired size and flip.

Tips:

  • Choose the right nuts: Almonds and cashews are the most popular nuts used in raw cheez-itz, as they have a mild flavor and a creamy texture when soaked and blended. Other nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts, can also be used, but they may have a stronger flavor that some people may not prefer.
  • Soak the nuts: This is an essential step that helps to soften the nuts and make them easier to blend. It also helps to remove some of the bitterness from the nuts.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender is necessary to get a smooth and creamy texture for the cheez-itz. A regular blender will not be able to blend the nuts and other ingredients together properly.
  • Add flavorings: Once the nuts are blended, you can add flavorings to taste. Some popular flavorings include nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. You can also add herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, for a more complex flavor.
  • Dehydrate the cheez-itz: Dehydrating the cheez-itz helps to remove the moisture and make them crispy. You can dehydrate them in a dehydrator or in a low-temperature oven.

Conclusion:

Raw cheez-itz are a delicious and healthy snack that can be made at home with just a few simple ingredients. They are a great alternative to store-bought cheez-itz, as they are made with all-natural ingredients and are free from preservatives and other harmful additives. Raw cheez-itz are also a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. So next time you are looking for a crunchy and satisfying snack, try making a batch of raw cheez-itz. You won't be disappointed!
