My homemade crackers are a breeze to put together and store. For a change of pace, I substitute cheddar cheese for the Swiss. —Johnna Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona

Ingredients

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1 large egg
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon 2% milk
Optional toppings: poppy seeds, sesame seeds, caraway seeds and dried minced onion

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, whisk together first five ingredients; stir in cheeses. Cut in butter until crumbly. Whisk together egg and cream; gradually add to flour mixture, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently just until combined, about 10 times. Divide dough in half. Roll each portion into a 12x10-in. rectangle; cut into 2-in. squares. Pierce with a fork. Place 2-in. apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and milk; brush over tops. If desired, sprinkle with choice of toppings.
Bake until golden brown, 9-12 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks; cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
