Make Your Own Cheez-Its to Create New Flavors and Ditch the Processed Additives

Make Your Own Cheez-Its to Create New Flavors and Ditch the Processed Additives:
Make Your Own Cheez-Its to Create New Flavors and Ditch the Processed Additives Cheez-Its and other cheezy snack crackers are delicious, but if you want to control the flavor yourself, make them less salty or more spicy, or would just prefer to enjoy your Cheez-Its without all of the chemical additives used in the mass production of them, they're surprisingly easy to make at home. America's Test Kitchen shows us how.
You'll need the ingredients here and the time to make the dough, let it chill, and bake it, so don't expect this to be a more convenient solution than just grabbing a box at the grocery store. Even so, making your own lets you completely control the flavor and ingredients, and lets you make your cheesy crackers just right for your tastes. The base recipe is pretty straightforward, and uses ingredients you may already have in your pantry.
ATK even shows you the secret to that orange color that's so characteristic to Cheez-Its if that's what you want (Spoiler: It's crushed annatto seeds, available at most grocery stores.) Hit the link below to grab the recipe, and see how they're made—complete with photos for each step.
