Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
⅓ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
2–3 tablespoons cold heavy cream
Coarse or flaked salt, for topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Stir in Parmesan to distribute evenly.
Add cold butter and cut it into the dry mix using a pastry cutter or your fingers until crumbly with small butter pieces.
Mix in rosemary, then add 2 tablespoons of cream, stirring until the dough starts to come together. Add more cream if needed.
Roll out dough on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut into squares or rectangles and dock with a fork.
Transfer to baking sheet, sprinkle lightly with coarse salt, and bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden.
Let cool completely on a wire rack before storing or serving.
Notes
Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
Freezing: Freeze unbaked dough for up to 1 month; thaw before rolling.
Flavor Variations: Try swapping rosemary for thyme, adding garlic powder, or mixing in cheddar for extra richness.
Crispier Finish: After baking, leave crackers in the turned-off oven for a few minutes to dry out.
