Instructions

  1. To a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the flour, softened butter, cayenne pepper, paprika, ground mustard, and salt.
  2. Use a hand or stand mixer until the butter is evenly incorporated with the dry ingredients. (If you don't have a mixer, you can also use your hands.)
  3. Add in the cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and mix with a mixer or your hands, until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
  4. Divide the dough in half and move to a silicone baking sheet or a lightly floured work surface.
  5. If the dough isn't completely incorporated, knead it for a few seconds to incorporate any stray crumbs and ensure there aren't any internal gaps.
  6. Use your hands to roll each dough half into a log measuring 8" (20cm) long and 1.5" (~4cm) in diameter.
  7. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds onto your work surface and roll the logs of dough in the seasoning until well coated.
  8. Wrap each dough log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes, until the dough feels firm.
  9. Heat oven to 400˚F (205˚C).
  10. Using a serrated knife, cut your dough logs into thin coins that are slightly less than ¼" thick.
  11. Place coins down onto a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges just barely start to brown.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before enjoying.
