I’m really enjoying cooking a wonderful array of food for my family on weekends, it’s my way to relax and unwind. My kids love crackers and dips and I have wanted to try making my own type of cracker of a while. This is a cheese cracker which I served with avocado horseradish spread and smoked salmon.
After making the mix I divided it in half and rolled into 15cm logs then rolled one log in sesame seeds, the other in poppy seeds.
After refrigerating the logs for 30 minutes, cut into 5mm slices and bake.
I love supporting Aussie producers so this week I’m celebrating Australia’s best dairy products with a recipe that includes one of the champions from the 2014 Australian Grand Dairy Awards – Pyengana Cheddar.
