Preparation duration: 12 minutes

Cooking duration: 15 minutes

 

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp Olive Oil or vegan butter (such as Earth Balance | I did a 1/2-1/2 mix of both)

1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

1-2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast (add more for a more intense "cheese" flavor)

1/4 cup Oat flour (or just sub more all purpose)

1 tsp Sea Salt (reduce to 3/4 tsp if desired as they're pretty cheesy/savory)

2-4 Tbsp cold water

1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp Unbleached all purpose flour or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour

3 Tbsp Yellow corn meal

Equipment:

baking paper

baking sheet

oven

food processor

cookie cutter

pizza cutter

rolling pin

chopsticks

knife

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.Add dry ingredients to a food processor and process to thoroughly combine.Then add olive and/or butter and pulse again until crumbly.Add cold water 1 Tbsp at a time until it forms a loose dough (see photo). You don’t want too much water, so go easy on it and add a little at a time. It shouldn’t need more than 3 Tbsp.Remove from processor and form into a loose ball with your hands. It’s actually good for this dough to be worked and warmed by the heat of your hands, so don’t worry about touching it too much. However, you are not kneading it, just forming it into a disc.Lay on a lightly floured surface - I found parchment worked great as my flat surface - dust the top with flour, and roll to 1/8th inch thick with a lightly floured rolling pin. Use a knife, pizza cutter or small cut cookie cutter shape to cut the dough into square crackers. Optional: dot the centers with a fork prong or chopstick for more character/resemblance to a Cheez-It.Bake at 350 for 12-17 minutes or until puffy and golden brown. These are pretty tender. For a crispier cracker, bake until golden brown. Makes about 70 crackers.

Food Joke

It’s magic Moishe goes to Brent Cross shopping centre with his ten-year-old son, Paul. Paul is flicking a 20p coin up in the air with his thumb and each time catching it between his teeth. But then someone bumps into Paul and the 20p coin goes straight down his throat. Paul starts to choke and soon begins to turn blue. Moishe starts to panic and shouts and screams for someone to help him. An ordinary looking man in a blue suit is sitting on a bench drinking coffee and reading his newspaper. He puts down his cup and paper, gets up and walks towards Paul, who is now close to collapse. When he gets to him, the man takes hold of Paul’s testicles and squeezes them gently but firmly. Straight away, Paul coughs up the 20p coin into the man’s free hand. The man gives the coin to Moishe and walks back to his bench to finish off his coffee. Not a word was said during this event. Moishe is overwhelmed with gratitude and quickly goes over to the man to thank him. The man looks embarrassed and tells Moishe he doesn’t have to thank him. But Moishe says, "You’re a hero. I`ve never heard of anyone doing what you just did - it was pure magic. What are you, a doctor?" "Oh, no, " the man replies, "I work for the Inland Revenue."
