Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese and Butter

    Add the shredded cheddar cheese and softened unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Combine with Water

    Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. You may not need all the water, so add just enough for the dough to come together.

  4. 4

    Chill the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Shaping and Baking

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough is chilling.

  2. 6

    Roll Out the Dough

    Once chilled, take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.

  3. 7

    Cut into Shapes

    Using a fish-shaped cookie cutter or a knife, cut the dough into small fish shapes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 8

    Bake the Goldfish

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

  5. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove the goldfish from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Serve as a snack or appetizer.
