Homemade cheese crackers, a super simple and quick snack, perfect for a snack or as an appetizer. These homemade tasty crackers are a burst of flavor. They are made with very few ingredients and everything is mixed with the help of a blender.
Yes, indeed, all the ingredients are put in the blender, a few steps with the hands to compact the dough and you can create them in the shape you prefer. I made them round because the first time I prepared and tasted them, they reminded me of the flavor of a famous snack brand that I obviously cannot mention. However, you can also make them rectangular, simply cutting the dough into diamonds.
The only advice I leave you for these savory cookies is to roll the dough quite thin because they will rise in the oven and puff up, but nothing that could compromise the success of the recipe. And now, let’s go to the kitchen together, because the homemade cheese crackers will be ready in a click!

Steps
First, cut the cheese into cubes so it can be better chopped and mixed with the other ingredients. Then put the flour, cheese, oil, salt, sparkling water, and yeast in a blender and blend until you obtain a fairly smooth mixture.
Then transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until you get a smooth and compact dough.
Roll it out to a thickness of 1 or 2 mm with the help of a rolling pin and cut out discs with the round cookie cutter. Alternatively, you can also cut rectangles with a knife. In short, you can create the shape you prefer for these savory cheese cookies.
Place them on an oven tray lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart, and, with a wooden skewer stick, prick the surface. Then mix the water and oil in a bowl to create an emulsion and brush the surface of the crackers.
Then add a few grains of coarse salt and bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) with static function for 15 minutes and then for another 5/10 minutes with ventilated function until the surface is golden.
Remove from oven, let cool, and serve them for a tasty aperitif or snack.
