How to Make Giada's Pecorino Crackers
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the grated Pecorino Romano cheese, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
- Add the softened butter to the cheese mixture.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the cheese and butter mixture until it's well combined and slightly fluffy.
- Gradually add the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cracker.
- Gently flatten each ball with your finger, creating a slightly flattened cracker shape.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the crackers are crisp.
- Let the crackers cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
