Semolina Crackers With Baked-On Goat Cheese

1. 1

   In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, mix the semolina, all purpose flour, salt, olive oil, and water for 2 minutes on low speed.

2. 2

   Raise speed to medium and mix for 1 minute more. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 450u00b0F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

4. 4

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. Use a pastry wheel to cut into 2 x 2 inch squares.

5. 5

   Transfer the squares to the prepared baking sheets (they won't spread so they can be relatively close together). Dock each square 1 or 2 times with the tines of a fork.

6. 6

   Top each cracker with some goat cheese (about 1 heaping teaspoon per cracker), and a few slices of shallot. Drizzle a little olive oil over the shallots and top with pepper.

7. 7

   Bake the crackers until they're golden at the edges and very crisp, 10-12 minutes. Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving warm, or cool completely.
