Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (divided)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (4% small curd)
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Blend: Preheat your oven to 400˚F. Blend the cottage cheese using a high-speed blender or a small food processor until completely smooth. Allow the blended cheese to rest for 10 minutes to improve the texture.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, dried rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and coarse ground black pepper. Stir the mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  3. Form Dough: Add the smooth cottage cheese to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Rest Dough: Place the dough on a floured surface, shape it into a ball, cover it, and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and the dough to hydrate.
  5. Divide and Roll: Cut the rested dough into four equal pieces. Roll one piece out as thin as possible (about 9×12 inches) on a floured surface. Transfer the rolled dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Season and Cut: Lightly spray the rolled dough with olive oil spray and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into desired shapes such as squares, rectangles, or triangles.
  7. Bake First Side: Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F for 8-9 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and check for any crackers that have browned; remove those to prevent burning.
  8. Flip and Continue Baking: Carefully separate any crackers stuck together and flip the remaining crackers over. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes. Keep a close eye and remove crackers as they become golden and crispy to avoid burning.
  9. Repeat: Repeat the rolling, cutting, and baking process with the remaining pieces of dough until all crackers are baked crisp.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is rolled very thin to achieve crispy crackers.
  • Keep a close watch during the second baking phase to avoid burning the crackers.
  • Store the crackers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
  • Feel free to experiment with other herbs or spices based on your preference.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
