Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 g Sourdough starter discard
- 120 g All-purpose flour
- 60 g Butter, softened
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Dried herbs (optional, like rosemary or thyme)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- for sprinkling Sea salt or flaky salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter discard, all-purpose flour, softened butter, and salt. If using, add the dried herbs. Mix the ingredients until they are well combined and form a smooth dough.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to a thin sheet, about 1/16 inch thick. Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the dough into small rectangles or squares, about 1x2 inches.
Transfer the cut-out crackers onto the prepared baking sheets. They can be close together as they won't expand much during baking.
Brush the crackers lightly with olive oil using a pastry brush. Sprinkle with sea salt or flaky salt to taste.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the crackers are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve the sourdough crackers on their own, or with your favorite dips, cheeses, or charcuterie.
