These crispy sourdough discard crackers are thin, golden, and perfectly crunchy with a subtle tang from the sourdough. They are easy to make, use simple ingredients, and are perfect for snacking or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g (3.5 oz) sourdough discard
  • 100g (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2–3 tablespoons water
  • Sea salt flakes to taste
  • Optional: cracked black pepper, rosemary, or garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Combine 100g (3.5 oz) sourdough discard, 100g (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour, and 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a mixing bowl. Mix until crumbly.
  2. Gradually add 2 tablespoons water and mix until dough starts to come together. Add more water if needed, a teaspoon at a time, until dough is soft but not sticky.
  3. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  5. Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin. Roll the dough as thin as possible, about 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) thickness.
  6. Score the dough into 2-inch (5 cm) squares or rectangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  7. Sprinkle sea salt flakes evenly over the dough. Add optional herbs or spices if desired and press lightly to help them stick.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking around 18 minutes. Crackers should be light golden brown and crisp.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. Break apart along scored lines.
  10. Store crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Re-toast for 5 minutes at 350°F (175°C) if they lose crispness.

Notes

Roll dough paper-thin for best crispiness. Watch baking time closely to avoid burning. Store in airtight container to maintain crispness. Use a piece of dry bread in container if humidity is high. Dough can be patched if it tears while rolling.
