Description
Crispy, tangy, and easy to make, these sourdough discard crackers are the perfect zero-waste snack. Customizable with herbs, seeds, or spices, they’re a pantry-friendly treat that’s great on cheese boards or enjoyed solo.
Ingredients
1 cup sourdough discard (unfed or fed)
1 cup all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper (optional)
¼ teaspoon onion powder (optional)
Toppings: sesame seeds, flaky sea salt, everything bagel seasoning (optional)
Instructions
Mix flour, salt, nutritional yeast, and any seasonings in a large bowl.
Add sourdough discard and melted butter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Lightly knead until smooth, then wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll dough out very thin (about 1/16 inch) on floured parchment.
Cut into squares or shapes using a pizza wheel.
Transfer parchment to baking sheet and brush tops with olive oil.
Sprinkle with optional toppings.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and crispy.
Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
Dough can be chilled for up to 48 hours.
Thinner dough yields crispier crackers.
Add parmesan, rosemary, or chili flakes for flavor variations.
Re-crisp crackers in the oven for 5 minutes at 300°F if they soften.
