Keto Cheez-Its

Step by Step Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cheddar cheese powder (if using), xanthan gum and salt.

   For this step

   • 100 g almond flour (1/2 cup + 1/3 cup)
   • 4 teaspoons cheddar cheese powder, optional
   • 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
   • 1/2 teaspoon salt
2. 2

   Stir in shredded cheese.

   For this step

   • 4 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
3. 3

   Add water and stir until a dough forms. It looks like there’s not enough water at first. Start kneading the dough with your hands and it should come together as a dough similar to play dough texture.

   For this step

   • 3 tablespoons water
4. 4

   Place dough in between two sheets of parchment paper. Flatten into a square or rectangle shape. Roll out dough, trying to keep a square or rectangle shape as much as possible. Roll until the dough is about as thick as a dull pencil tip or thickness of a fork prong. Carefully peel off the top layer of parchment paper. (See video above for best practices on rolling the dough)

5. 5

   Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into small squares. Poke a hole in each center with a skewer or chopstick. Separate the squares on the parchment-lined baking sheet before baking, leaving a little space between them.

6. 6

   Bake in a preheated 250°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, checking from 20 minutes. Look for dry edges just before they turn golden; thicker crackers may need longer. Let cool completely on the baking sheet so they can firm up. Test a cooled cracker before deciding whether they need more baking.
