These Sourdough Discard Crackers are a delicious and easy way to use up your sourdough starter discard. Crispy and flavored with fresh rosemary and parmesan cheese, they make a perfect snack or appetizer. The recipe combines sourdough discard with flour, olive oil, and seasonings, baked until golden and crunchy.

  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 24 crackers

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

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the crackers evenly.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Cut the crackers: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled dough into desired cracker shapes—typically squares or rectangles.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
