Basic Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed starter)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, or oregano)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, flaxseeds, or sunflower seeds (optional)

Toppings (Optional):

  • Coarse sea salt
  • Cracked black pepper
  • Grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix Dough: In a bowl, combine sourdough discard, flour, olive oil, salt, and seasonings. Stir until smooth.
  • Roll Out Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to ⅛-inch thickness.
  • Cut and Score: Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut into squares or rectangles. Poke small holes with a fork.
  • Add Toppings: Lightly brush with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, seeds, or other toppings.
  • Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
  • Cool and Store: Let the crackers cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Roll thin for extra crispy crackers.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Score the dough before baking for easy breaking.
  • Rotate the tray for even baking.
  • Experiment with flavors like cheese, chili flakes, or honey for a sweet version.
