As a kid, I could eat a whole box of Cheese-Its in one sitting because they were so addicting. Now that I am vegan, I haven't found a reasonably priced cheeze cracker that I enjoy, so I decided to make them myself. These are a great snack to make to have around the house if you can stop yourself from eating them all at once. 

The first part to making this recipe is to create the cheeze dough. It starts with 2 cups of cheeze. I prefer to use different kinds of cheeze, so I used a combination of cheddar and mozzarella. It pairs well with the nutritional yeast to essentially make a 3 cheeze cracker. The cheeze and other ingredients form a dough that needs to rest for about 20 minutes. Then the rolling beings. I actually did not have a rolling pin, so I used my hands and a measuring cup to get it as flat and even as possible. Then I sprinkled salt on it before using a pizza cutter to create mostly even cuts. I baked in the oven starting at the low end of 30 minutes and flipped the crackers halfway through to create more of an even bake. I baked them a little bit longer so they could get extra crispy. If they still aren't crispy enough for you, then bake them more.

I hope you like this snack food, and please like, share, and follow for more content!
