Basic Sourdough Discard Cracker Recipe

You will need:

  • sourdough discard1 cup sourdough discard
  • all-purpose flour1 cup all-purpose flour
  • olive oil1/4 cup olive oil
  • salt1/2 teaspoon salt
  • baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • herbs spices cheeseOptional: herbs, spices, or cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot enough when your dough is ready.
  2. Next, in a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sourdough discard, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.
  3. Mix these ingredients together until a smooth, pliable dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour; if it's too dry, add a bit more olive oil.
  4. Now, on a clean, floured surface, roll out the dough as thinly as possible. The thinner the dough, the crispier your crackers will be.
  5. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into squares or rectangles and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. If you'd like, sprinkle your chosen toppings over the crackers. This could be herbs, spices, or even cheese.
  7. Bake the crackers in your preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  8. Finally, let the crackers cool before serving. They'll continue to crisp up as they cool.
