Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 1 cup Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Opt for a blend with xanthan gum for best results.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Substitute with dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.
  • 1/2 cup Cold Butter Use plant-based butter for a dairy-free version.
  • 2-4 tbsp Cold Water Adjust based on how the dough feels.
  • 1 pinch Salt Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for finish.

Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment, including a food processor and parchment paper.
  2. In your food processor, add the gluten-free all-purpose flour, shredded cheddar cheese, and cold butter. Pulse until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs, about 30 seconds.
  3. Gradually drizzle in cold water while pulsing until the mixture forms a cohesive dough ball, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  5. Cut the rolled dough into 1-inch squares and poke holes in the center of each square. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
  6. Transfer the squares onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.
  7. Let the Cheez-Its cool completely on the baking sheet before enjoying or storing.
