Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 120 grams
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Plus more for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes Adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs or spices Optional, e.g. rosemary, thyme, or cracked black pepper

Method

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until a smooth ball forms. If the dough is too sticky, add flour a teaspoon at a time until it’s manageable.
  • Lightly flour your work surface. Roll out the dough as thin as possible, about 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) thick.
  • Cut the rolled dough into squares or rectangles about 1.5 inches (4 cm) wide using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  • Transfer the cut crackers to the prepared baking sheet, placing them close but not overlapping.
  • Lightly brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt flakes and optional herbs or spices.

Baking

  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking after 12 minutes to avoid burning. The crackers should be golden and crisp.
  • Allow the crackers to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • If the crackers are soft after cooling, return them to the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 2-3 minutes to crisp.

Notes

Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay crispy for up to a week. If they lose their crunch, pop them back into a low oven for a few minutes.
