Delightful Sourdough Crackers Recipe

Ingredients

• 200g (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
• 100g (1/2 cup) sourdough starter discard
• 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
• 10g (1 tsp) sea salt
• 5g (1 tsp) dried herbs, such as rosemary or thyme
• 45-60ml (3-4 tbsp) water, as needed
• Coarse salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and sea salt. Add the sourdough starter discard and olive oil, mixing until a shaggy dough begins to form. Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together but is not sticky.

Step 2: Rest the Dough

Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for about 30 minutes. This resting process allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.

Step 3: Roll Out the Dough

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to about 2mm (1/16 inch) thickness. The thinner the dough, the crisper the crackers will be.

Step 4: Cut the Crackers

Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into small squares or rectangles. Transfer them to the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each cracker. Sprinkle coarse salt and dried herbs over the top for extra flavor.

Step 5: Bake the Crackers

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn. Once baked, transfer the crackers to a wire rack to cool.

Conclusion

You’ve now crafted a batch of delightful sourdough crackers! These tasty treats are not only a clever way to reduce food waste by utilizing sourdough starter discard but also a wonderful addition to any cheese platter or snack lineup. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and toppings to suit your palate. With their irresistible crunch and rich flavor, these sourdough crackers are sure to become a favorite in your home. Enjoy them fresh, and don’t be surprised if they disappear quickly!
