Ingredients

  • 4 oz. Parmesan cheese, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into 4 pieces
  • 1 1/2 tsp finely shredded lemon peel
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. cold water
  • Kosher salt or sea salt
  • Finely shredded lemon peel

Directions

  1. Put 2 pieces of cheese in food processor bowl fitted with chopping blade. Cover; process until cheese is almost ground. Drop in remaining cheese chunks, a few at a time, until all cheese is ground. Remove top; add flour, cold butter, 1 1/2 tsp lemon peel, and pepper to food processor. With machine running, add water through feed tube; process until mixture just comes together. Shape into a ball.

  2. Preheat oven to 400. Flatten cheese mixture on a sheet of parchment paper. Top with parchment. Use a rolling pin to roll to a 12-inch square. Remove top sheet of parchment. Invert dough onto baking sheet; remove second parchment. Using fluted pastry wheel, pizza cutter, or sharp knife, cut 2×1 1/2-inch rectangles or 12-inch wide strips. Carefully separate dough using spatula to lift; arrange on baking sheet 1 inch apart. Using fork, prick dough. Sprinkle with salt and additional lemon peel.

  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown; cool on baking sheet.
