Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup (200 g) discarded sourdough starter (stirred down)
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) butter (melted)
  • ¼ teaspoon (1 g) fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried herbs (Herbs de Provence)
  • ¼ teaspoon (1 g) salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Start by combining your sourdough discard with flour, olive oil, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix until everything is well incorporated, forming a cohesive dough that’s not sticky.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough

Once your dough is ready, transfer it to a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out as thinly as possible. This is key for achieving those delightful crispy crackers.

Step 3: Cut into Shapes

After rolling out the dough, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice it into your desired shapes. Whether squares, rectangles, or triangles, the joy is in the variety!

Step 4: Prepare for Baking

Arrange the cut-out shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are spaced out slightly to allow for even baking.

Step 5: Bake the Crackers

Bake the crackers in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes. Keep a close eye on them as they can brown quickly. You want them golden and crisp!

Step 6: Cool and Enjoy

Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed—plain or with your favorite dips!

Notes

Tip 1: Using Fresh Sourdough Discard

  • If your sourdough discard has been sitting for a while, make sure it still smells pleasant. If it has an off smell, it is best to discard it.
Tip 2: Variations
  • Feel free to add spices or herbs to the dough for added flavor. Garlic powder, rosemary, or even cheese can elevate the taste!
Tip 3: Storage
  • Store baked crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They might not last that long, though—they’re usually too good to resist!
