- 1 cup Sourdough Discard
- 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
- 4 tablespoons Butter or Olive Oil
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- Optional: Herbs spices, or grated cheese to taste
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of sourdough discard.
Add 1½ cups of all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon of salt to the bowl.
If you’re using any additional seasonings or herbs, add them now (like garlic powder, dried herbs, or cheese).
Pour in 4 tablespoons of melted butter or olive oil.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients
Use a spatula or your hands to mix the ingredients until a dough starts to form.
If the mixture is too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour until you can easily handle it.
Step 4: Roll Out the Dough
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. This thickness will help ensure crispy crackers.
Make sure to keep the surface and rolling pin floured to prevent sticking.
Step 5: Cut the Crackers
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into squares or rectangles. You can make them any size you like, but remember they will expand slightly while baking.
For a decorative touch, you can use cookie cutters to create fun shapes!
Step 6: Prepare for Baking
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Carefully transfer the cut crackers to the lined baking sheet, leaving space between them for even baking.
Step 7: Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid burning.
Step 8: Cool Down
Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, which will help them stay crispy.
