Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for a rich, savory flavor)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or more, depending on your preference)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary (or any herb of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3-4 tablespoons cold water (or as needed to bring the dough together)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for brushing the tops)
  • Sesame seeds or sea salt flakes (for topping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the salty bites from sticking.

2. Prepare the Dough:

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, and dried rosemary (or your choice of herbs). Mix these dry ingredients together to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.

3. Cut in the Butter:

Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The cold butter is what helps make these bites flaky and delicious.

4. Add Water to Form the Dough:

Slowly add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. You may not need all the water, so be sure to add it gradually. Once the dough holds its shape, stop adding water.
