Sourdough discard crackers

Found another recipe for sourdough discard crackers from https://alexandracooks.com. I have been saving sourdough discard in a container in the fridge. When there is about 200g of discard making these cracker is a nice usage. Maybe once per week making crackers would be a good way to use the discard. Rolling out thin makes a nice crispy cracker. Also making sure they are not undercooked helps add crispiness. I like to divide the dough into two balls and roll out on floured parchment paper. I keep one batch simple with salt and the other can have herbs or everything bagel seasoning (from Trader Joes).

Ingredients

  • 200g sourdough discard
  • 4T room temperature butter
  • 65g all purpose flour
  • 65g whole wheat or rye flour
  • olive oil for brushing
  • toppings, can be sea salt, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning

Steps

  • combine ingredients in bowl
  • mix with wooden spoon until forms a ball
  • roll out on floured counter with hands until uniform consistency
  • place in bowl and cover, leave in fridge for at least 30m
  • preheat oven to 350F
  • divide into 2 balls
  • roll out each ball of dough on floured parchment paper
  • roll out thin to a cracker like thickness, they may expand a little when baked
  • brush with olive oil
  • sprinkle toppings: salt, sesame seeds, or everything bagel seasoning
  • score with pizza wheel or knife
  • bake for 20m until crisp, getting dark, can rotate pans half way through to help even browning
