Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
8 ounces Cabot Seriously Sharp Shredded Cheddar, (about 2 cups)
½ cup Cabot Unsalted Butter, cold, cubed
- 3 strips cooked thick cut bacon, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, roughly chopped
- 2 – 3 tablespoons cold water
Directions
- PULSEÂ the cooked, chopped bacon and rosemary together in a food processor until the mixture looks finely chopped, about 30 seconds.
- ADD in the flour, salt, pepper and cheese. Pulse the ingredients together until the mixture looks coarse with small pieces of cheese.
- ADDÂ the cubed butter into the mixture and pulse before adding 2 tablespoons of cold water. At this point the mixture will start to clump into a ball. If the dough is not coming together, mix in the remaining tablespoon of water.
- REMOVE the dough from the food processor and divide in half. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll the dough into a log shape and tightly wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat this step with the remaining dough and refrigerate both logs of dough for 3 – 4 hours or overnight.
- PREHEAT the oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- CUT the logs of dough into ¼-inch thick disks and transfer to the prepared baking sheets.
- BAKE the crackers, rotating the baking sheets halfway through the baking time, for 30 – 35 minutes or until the crackers appear golden brown with crisp edges.
- REST the crackers on the baking sheets for 6 – 8 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool to room temperature.
- SERVEÂ immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
