Ingredients
Cracker Dough
- 1 cup sourdough discard (about 230 grams)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Topping
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the crackers evenly.
- Mix the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, extra virgin olive oil, all-purpose flour, grated parmesan cheese, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
- Roll out the dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper or on a lightly floured surface and roll it out thinly to about 1/8 inch thickness for crisp crackers.
- Cut the crackers: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled dough into desired cracker shapes—typically squares or rectangles.
- Prepare baking sheet: Transfer the cut dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt for added flavor.
- Bake the crackers: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp, watching closely towards the end to prevent burning.
- Cool and serve: Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, they are ready to serve or store.
Notes
- Store baked crackers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- Feel free to substitute parmesan with other hard cheeses like asiago or pecorino for different flavors.
- You can experiment with different herbs like thyme or sage in place of rosemary.
- Ensure the dough is rolled thinly for the best crispy texture.
- These crackers are a great way to use sourdough discard, reducing food waste.
