WHALE-SHAPED CRACKERS WITH CHEDDAR AND NORI

INGREDIENTS:
  • 3 cup white whole wheat flour
  • ¼ cup roasted sesame seed
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2 cup ice water
  • whale shaped cookie cutter
  • good quality cheddar, sliced
  • nori goma furikake
DIRECTIONS:
In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, sesame, baking powder, salt, and peppers.  Rub the butter into the flour using your hands or pastry cutter, until the mixture looks like coarse sand.  In the bowl of a stand mixer, very gradually, and on low speed, add the cold water, stopping once a dough forms.  You want the mixture to hold together and to no longer be dry. Take half the mixture and put in fridge.  Roll out the other half on a silpat or parchment until about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.  Use the cookie cutter to make whale shapes.  Sprinkle with just a bit of fleur de sel and place in 375 degree oven for 10-15 minutes, until golden and crisp.  Repeat with the rest of the dough.  To serve, top with a slice of cheddar and a sprinkle of nori.
