Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Mix well.
Add the olive oil and water to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a few more drops of water, one at a time.
Optional: Mix in herbs or your seasoning of choice for added flavor.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly until it comes together into a cohesive ball.
Divide the dough into two sections to make it easier to roll out. Roll one section at a time into a very thin sheet (approximately 1 millimeter thick).
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled dough into cracker-sized squares or rectangles. Alternatively, use a cookie cutter for fun shapes.
Transfer the cut crackers to the prepared baking sheet, making sure they donβt overlap.
Prick each cracker with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes of baking as they can burn quickly.
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
