Make sure you have all your ingredients ready to go. This will make the process smooth and enjoyable.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
