Ingredients
  

  • 10 tbs unsalted butter softened (5 oz)
  • 4 oz parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 oz Cheddar cheese sharp, grated
  • 1 cup plus 2 tbs all-purpose flour (about 6 oz)
  • 4 tsp smoked paprika
  • pepper fresh, ground
  • smoked salt (or sea salt) for sprinkling on top

Instructions
 

  • Toss butter, Parmesan, cheddar, flour, paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper with fingers in large bowl until combined. Using hands, press mixture into a dough. Roll dough into a log 2 1/4 inches diameter and tightly wrap in parchment paper, twisting ends of parchment to keep log tight. Chill 45 minutes or until just firm.
  • Adjust oven racks to lower and upper middle positions and preheat to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Remove paper from log and slice into 1/8-thick discs. Space evenly on pans. Sprinkle with smoked salt and bake until a deep golden brown, about 15 minutes, rotating pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through. Let crackers cool completely on pans.

Cheesy Smoked-Paprika Crackers Recipe

ONE BOWL BAKING
Great baked goods don't necessarily require multiple pots and pans. These easy recipes require just one bowl, which means less time, less clean up, and more eating.
