Ingredients
1½ cups bread flour
½ cup warm water
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ounce finely grated firm cheese
2 ounces soft cheese, cut into small cubes
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until evenly distributed.
Add the warm water to the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms. Once incorporated, add the finely grated firm cheese and soft cheese cubes.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured work surface for about 5–8 minutes, working the cheese throughout until the dough is smooth and elastic. The soft cheese will soften and blend into the dough.
Place the dough in a lightly floured bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise at room temperature for about 90 minutes until nearly doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Turn the risen dough out onto a floured work surface and gently flatten or roll it out to your desired thickness for crackers, roughly ¼ inch thick.
Cut the dough into cracker-sized pieces using a sharp knife or pastry cutter. Transfer the pieces to a lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until the crackers are light golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
