Serves4 to 6 snack servings
Ingredients
- 200g sourdough starter discard (unfed, room temperature)
- 120g all-purpose flour
- 60g olive oil
- 60g water
- 1 tsp salt
- Optional: herbs (rosemary, thyme), spices (garlic powder, onion powder), seeds (sesame, poppy)
- Optional: flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Mix
Combine the discard, oil, flour, and salt until you have a soft dough. Add a spoonful of water only if it feels dry.
Step 2: Roll Thin
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment until it is very thin. Thin dough is the difference between crisp crackers and chewy ones.
Step 3: Season
Brush lightly with oil and scatter your toppings over the surface. Score into rough squares before baking.
Step 4: Bake
Bake at 175C for 18 to 22 minutes, checking the center as well as the edges. Cool fully before breaking apart.
