Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Flat Sourdough Starter Discard
  • 1 ΒΌ All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt + more for sprinkling
  • 4 TBSP Butter- Room Temperature
  • 2 TBSP Herbs - Optional
  • Olive Oil for brushing

Instructions

  • 1. In a mixing bowl, add sourdough starter, flour, salt & butter. Add as well as any herbs, if you are using them.
  • 2. Mix until dough comes together.
  • 3. Knead for a few minutes until dough becomes smooth, adding small amounts of flour if needed.
  • 4. Wrap dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour (can be longer if needed).
  • 5. Bring dough out and cut into two halves.
  • 6. Preheat oven to 350 F
  • 7. Roll out each half on lightly floured parchment paper. Trying to get it as thin as you can, about 1/16 of an inch. If it is not thin enough, your crackers can come out more like a pie crust.
  • 8. Once it is rolled out, cut off uneven edges around the sides and then cut dough into 1 inch squares.
  • 9. Poke each cracker with a fork, so that they don't puff up when they bake.
  • 10. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle salt on to, and more herbs if you wish. I have used the butter to brush, it works but they do tend to become more like a pie crust so I prefer olive oil.
  • 11. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, turning pan around half way through. Bake until golden brown.
