Description
Crispy, buttery, and fragrant with rosemary, these Homemade Parmesan Rosemary Crackers are a perfect make-ahead snack. Great for cheese boards, party spreads, or a simple savory bite during the day.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried, crushed)
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/4 cup water (plus more if needed)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
Flaky sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, rosemary, and Parmesan.
2. Add in the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Pour in the water and mix with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Add more water a teaspoon at a time if needed.
4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead briefly until smooth.
5. Divide the dough in half and roll each portion thin (about 1/8 inch) between parchment paper.
6. Cut into desired shapes using a knife or pizza cutter.
7. Transfer the parchment with crackers onto baking sheets.
8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush cracker tops with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
9. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden and crisp.
10. Cool completely on wire racks and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Use fresh rosemary for maximum flavor, but dried will work in a pinch.
You can roll the dough extra thin for crispier crackers or keep them slightly thicker for a softer snap.
To re-crisp stored crackers, place in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes.
