Instructions

In a food processor, add all of the ingredients except for water and process to combine to a breadcrumb consistency – around a minute or so
Slowly pulse through the water until the dough comes together in a ball, take care not to make the mixture too wet (you may not need the full tablespoon or you may need a little more, take your time with this step)
Turn onto a floured board or bench (or directly on to baking paper if that is your preference) and roll out in a rectangle to around 0.5 cm thick. The consistency will be like pastry
Carefully lay on baking paper (you may just want to directly roll out onto baking paper) and lay flat in the fridge for 30 minutes
Meanwhile pre-heat your oven to 180c
When the dough has chilled, use cookie or sandwich cutters to cut the crackers into your designated shapes (I used a range of cutters during testing but by far Mr 5’s favourite was the puzzle pieces using a Match & Munch cutter* by The Lunch Punch), sprinkle the shapes with extra Parmesan and lay them on a lined baking tray
Bake the shapes in the oven for around 10 minutes until lightly browned. The time indicated is entirely dependent on the shape sizes you make so keep a close eye on your shapes.

Notes

These crackers are best eaten the day they are made. You can still eat them for up to three days (and probably longer but mine didn’t last that long!) stored in an airtight container.
