In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, whole wheat flour, olive oil, and salt. If you're adding optional seasonings such as garlic powder, dried herbs, or seeds, mix them in at this stage.
Stir until the mixture forms a cohesive dough. If the dough feels too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it comes together. If it's too sticky, add a small amount of flour.
Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (165Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Divide the dough into two portions for easier handling. Lightly flour a clean work surface and rolling pin, and roll out one portion of dough as thinly as possible (aim for 1-2mm thickness).
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to score the dough into desired cracker shapes, such as squares or rectangles.
Repeat the rolling and scoring process with the second portion of dough if needed.
Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking them apart along the score lines.
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
