Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary optional, or substitute with other herbs like thyme or oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the Dough
- In a medium bowl, mix the sourdough discard, flour, olive oil, salt, and any herbs or seasonings you're using (such as rosemary or garlic powder). Stir until a dough forms.
Roll the Dough
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it out thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. The thinner you roll, the crispier the crackers will be.
Cut into Shapes
- Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into small squares or rectangles. Transfer the cut crackers to the prepared baking sheet.
Season and Bake
- Lightly brush the crackers with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
Cool and Serve
- Let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite dips, cheese, or spreads.
