Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour 120 grams
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour 60 grams
  • ½ cup granulated sugar 100 grams
  • ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt Use half the amount if using table salt or Morton’s brand
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter 113 grams or 1 stick, cold, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • ½ cup sourdough starter discard 100 grams
  • 1 tablespoon honey 21 grams
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips, gently pinch the butter into the flour mixture until it sticks together when squeezed, resembling damp, coarse sand.
  • Knead in the sourdough discard, honey, and vanilla extract just until a cohesive dough forms.
  • Divide the dough into two equal pieces and shape each into a 1-inch thick square. Wrap them individually in plastic or beeswax wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Baking

  • About 10 minutes before the chilling time is up, preheat the oven to 350℉.
  • Working with one piece of dough at a time, lightly dust it with flour and roll it out onto a piece of parchment paper until it’s about ⅛-inch thick.
  • Trim the edges of the rolled-out dough to make them even. Cut the dough into your desired shapes and dock them with a fork. Leave the crackers connected; do not separate them.
  • Transfer the parchment paper with the cut crackers onto a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to brown.
  • Allow the graham crackers to cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
