Crispy Vat 17 World Cheddar Straws

Instructions

1. Place the flour, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt and cayenne pepper into a food processor; cover and pulse until blended. Add 1 3/4 cups cheddar and butter; cover and pulse until mixture resembles coarse sand. Add 6 tablespoons cream, pulse until combined. Add cream, a tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition until the dough just holds together when pinched.
2. Divide dough in half. Shape into two disks; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Heat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
4. Roll out one disk of dough on a lightly floured surface to a 10 x 8-inch rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick. Trim edges straight. Cut dough into 1/4-inch strips. Carefully place 1/2 inch apart on a prepared pan. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheddar.
5. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat steps with remaining dough and cheddar. Serve straws with marinara sauce.
