I tried making a Cheez-It today by using my flax/sesame cracker recipe. I omitted the flax seed and added 2 TB of Anthony's cheddar powder. I also swapped out the baking soda (used just to help the crackers brown) for baking powder. Lastly, I had to add an additional TB of water to offset the cheddar powder.
The resulting crackers were bland (not very cheddar-y) and dry.
The cheddar powder is nice sprinkled on veggies, but it doesn't have the intensity for a baked good. If any of you have used cheddar powder with success, I'd love to hear some ideas.

Is there a reason for not using cheddar cheese or is this looking for alternatives to using it?

Are you adding any salt? Also, how about including a sharper cheese like Asiago or Parmesan?
