Ingredients

  • 200 grams ¾ cup sourdough starter (unfed)
  • 100 grams ¾ cup - All-purpose flour
  • 7 grams 1 tsp high quality sea salt
  • 30 grams 2 tbsp olive oil can use unsalted butter at room temperature
  • Seasoning I like rosemary and sea salt but feel free to experiment!

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Mix the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried herbs if using. Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour until it's manageable.
  • Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough thinly. Aim for about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick. Thinner crackers will be crispier.
  • Cut into shapes: Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the rolled-out dough into your desired shapes. Traditional rectangles or squares work well, but you can get creative with cookie cutters for different shapes.
  • Arrange on baking sheets: Place the cut-out crackers onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. It's okay if they are close together, but they shouldn't be touching.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them, as baking time can vary based on thickness.
  • Cool: Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
  • Store: Once completely cooled, store the sourdough discard crackers in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for up to a week, but they are best enjoyed fresh!
  • Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings or toppings like sea salt flakes, sesame seeds, or grated cheese before baking. Enjoy your homemade sourdough discard crackers!
