Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 226 grams cheddar cheese, freshly shredded Shred the cheddar cheese yourself for the best flavor and texture.
  • 100 grams sourdough discard Can use fresh sourdough starter but may change texture and flavor slightly.
  • 42 grams unsalted butter, cold + cubed Use cold butter for best results.
  • 140 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 gram garlic powder
  • 1 gram onion powder
  • 3 grams salt
  • flaky salt Sprinkle on top before baking, if desired.

Method

Preparation

  • In a bowl of a food processor, combine all the ingredients except the flaky salt. Mix until it reaches a wet sand texture.
  • Move the dough to a clean work surface. Shape it into a flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
  • If you want to long-ferment, keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before rolling.

Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured surface or parchment paper, roll the dough into a 9-inch rectangle, about 1/16th of an inch thick.
  • Trim the dough into an 8-inch square and cut it into eight 1-inch vertical strips, then cut it perpendicularly to make 1-inch squares.
  • Place the squares on the baking sheet, leaving space between each. Use a toothpick to poke a hole in the center of each cracker to prevent puffing.
  • Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown.
  • Re-roll and cut any remaining dough while the first batch bakes.
  • Let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack. They will get crunchier as they cool.
