Cheddar Bites (SCD)

Cheddar Bites

3 cups almond flour
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup water
1 tsp baking soda
3 tsp herbs de provence (I’ve actually never added this - not sure where to find it)
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
1 or 2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

1 cup of chopped bacon (optional – but very good!)

Mix all of your ingredients together in a big bowl.  Add more water if you need to. Shape into a big ball, divide in half. and place each half on top of a piece of parchment paper the size of your cookie sheet. Place another piece parchment on top, and roll the dough until it is very thin, less than 1/4 inch, the thinner the dough, the crispier the crackers will be. Put it in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Make sure your oven is preheated to 300 F.

Remove top piece of parchment paper.  Using a pizza cutter, cut through dough making squares about the size of saltine crackers.  Leave on parchment paper.

Bake the crackers at 300 for 30 minutes.
Take the crackers out of the oven, and turn the temperature down to 210 F.

Separate and flip the crackers over (use pizza cutter again if necessary) and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Bake the crackers again at 210 for 30 minutes.

Turn off the oven, and allow the crackers to continue crisping as the oven cools all the way down. Can take an hour or two.  Sprinkle salt on top if desired.

Make sure you store the crackers in an air tight container. You can freeze them as well.  Toast them up in the oven if they need it! 250 F for five to ten minutes… I hope you enjoy!
