Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sourdough discard
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 23 tablespoons (3045 ml) water
  • Β½ teaspoon (3 g) salt
  • 2 tablespoons (20 g) everything bagel seasoning
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon (1 g) fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, finely chopped
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons (10 g) grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour and Β½ teaspoon (3 g) salt. Add Parmesan or herbs if using and stir to distribute evenly.
  3. Add 1 cup (240 ml) sourdough discard and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
  4. Gradually add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) water, adding an extra tablespoon (15 ml) if the dough feels dry or crumbly. The dough should be firm but pliable, not sticky.
  5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Avoid over-kneading.
  6. Roll the dough out thinly to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness. Patch any tears gently.
  7. Cut the dough into squares or rectangles about 2 inches (5 cm) wide using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  8. Transfer the cut pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about Β½ inch (1.3 cm) apart.
  9. Generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the crackers and press lightly to help it stick.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking after 15 minutes to avoid burning. Crackers should be golden brown and firm to the touch.
  11. Remove from oven and transfer crackers to a wire rack to cool completely to maintain crispness.

Notes

Roll dough as thin as possible (about 1/8 inch) for the crispiest crackers. Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking. Cool crackers on a wire rack to keep them crisp. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for longer storage. Re-toast frozen crackers at 300Β°F (150Β°C) for 5 minutes to re-crisp.
