Equipment

  • Oven
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • measuring cup
  • mixing bowl
  • spatula
  • pizza cutter
  • wooden skewer

Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams sourdough discard 1 cup stirred and unfed starter
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup finely shredded medium cheddar cheese loosely packed or 60 grams
  • seasonings to taste - flaky sea salt, everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, etc.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter in a large measuring cup or mixing bowl and let it cool until just lukewarm. Measure in the sourdough discard and salt, and stir together with a spatula until well combined. Add cheese and stir until well incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture onto your parchment-lined baking sheet and use an offset spatula to spread it into a thin, even layer that is almost transparent (for reference, my dough rectangle measured 11x14 inches).
  • Lightly sprinkle the top with flaky salt - don't overseason.
  • Bake for 10 minutes then remove from the oven and use a pizza cutter to score your crackers into bite-size squares. For the classic cheese cracker appearance, you can use the back of a wooden skewer to poke a hole in the center of each crack.
  • Return to the oven and bake another 20 minutes or until the crackers are golden and hardened. If crackers are not firmed up, it may be due to not spreading them thinly enough, just continue to bake until they are firm when you tap the tops.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet to let them fully dry out. Once they have cooled completely, store in an airtight container or zip bag.

Notes

Cheese Variations to try: Sharp Cheddar Cheese, White cheddar, Parmesean (use ½ cup or the crackers will be too salty), Monterey Jack.
