It's easier than you think. Look at it this way. It's some bread dough you made that didn't rise. So turn it into a cracker. Press some seeds in the top, break them into cool shapes and look your an artist!
Cheddar Crackers
1/2 Cups Butter cut into cubes
1 1/2 Cups Flour Sifted
Good Pinch of Kosher Salt
1 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 dash Cayenne Pepper
2 Cups Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese grated fine
Place all ingredients into a Food Processor except butter and cheese. Turn on for a moment to combine. With the motor running drop the butter in a couple at a time. Then add some of the cheese about 1/2 Cup at a time and pulse to combine. That should resemble a lump of dough. Dump it out onto piece of parchment paper and shape into a log a couple of inches around. Chill for 30 to 40 minutes in the refrigerator. With a serrated knife slice your crackers 1/4-inch
thick.
Bake on a half sheet pan at 400 degrees F for about 10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and let cool. Store the cooled crackers in airtight containers in a cool place.
Option: You could roll out that dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut with a knife or roller into squares or whatever.
Mix it up! Try different flours or cheeses. Add some nuts or seeds or herbs. It's easy and about as cheap a snack as you are going to get.
Enjoy!
