Making your own 'fancy' crackers at home is a fairly basic operation, and not only will they be less expensive than store-bought, but you can customize them any way you want. Please pay attention to your baking time.

Time 32m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup cold water
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
  • Place flour, salt, sugar, and grated cheese in a mixing bowl. Stir together until well mixed. Add rosemary; drizzle with olive oil and add water. Mix with a fork until mixture comes together in a fairly sticky dough and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer dough onto floured surface and add flour as you knead the dough. Knead until it no longer sticks to work surface, 4 to 5 minutes. Divide dough in half.
  • Dust work surface with flour. Roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness or less. Brush or mist surface of dough very lightly with water. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Prick the entire surface of dough with the tines of a fork to prevent crackers from puffing too much when baking.
  • Cut each rolled out half into about 30 pieces with a pizza wheel. You can cut them out in squares, rectangles, or triangles--your choice. Transfer onto prepared baking sheet with a bench scraper or your floured fingers (dough will be very sticky).
  • Bake in preheated oven until perfectly browned and crunchy, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness.

FOUR-CHEESE FLATBREADS



Four-Cheese Flatbreads image

You can make personal pizzas quickly by using premade naan, flatbread or pita as the base, then topping with whatever sounds good to you. Here, the combination of feta, Parmesan, ricotta and mozzarella hits every note - salty, creamy, tangy and gooey. Corn's sweetness balances the savoriness, and a generous amount of black pepper cuts through the richness, as it does in cacio e pepe. Feel free to swap the cheeses based on what you have - pecorino instead of Parmesan, fontina instead of mozzarella - and incorporate any toppings you like: spinach, herbs, garlic, red-pepper flakes, hot honey and so on.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup whole-milk ricotta (about 6 ounces)
3/4 cup crumbled feta (about 3 ounces)
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan (about 2 1/2 ounces)
1/3 cup grated mozzarella (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 1/2 cups corn kernels (from 2 ears of corn or frozen and thawed)
Black pepper
4 flatbread, naan or pocketless pita (roughly 8-inch diameter, store-bought or homemade)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees, and place a rack in the lower and upper thirds of the oven. In a large bowl, mash the ricotta, feta, Parmesan, mozzarella and thyme together with a fork. Stir in the corn, and season to taste with black pepper.
  • Place the flatbread on two baking sheets, then top evenly with the cheese mixture. Roast, rotating pans halfway through, until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted and browned in spots, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Let cool for a few minutes, then cut and top with more black pepper.
