Easy Sourdough Discard Crackers: The Crispy Secret

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time50 minutes
Total Time1 hour

Equipment

  • baking sheet - 2 if doubling the recipe
  • parchment paper
  • measuring pitcher or bowl
  • tablespoon
  • cookie cutter - optional
  • skewer - makes scoring easier

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 2 tbsp butter melted and cooled to room temperature
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted and cooled to room temperature
  • 1/2 tbsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tbsp herbs, cheese, seeds, etc. - optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter and coconut oil and let them cool to room temperature. Note: You may want to melt them separately to avoid burning.
  • Combine sourdough discard, butter and coconut oil in a measuring pitcher or bowl and mix well.
  • Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Lift the baking sheet one side at a time to let the batter slowly spread into an even layer - about 1/8" thick. Use a spoon if needed. Note: Thin batter makes crispy crackers!
  • Sprinkle sea salt evenly over the mixture.
  • Bake the batter for 10 minutes, then remove to cut and score. Use a pizza cutter to cut lines vertically and horizontally, making squares. Then poke holes in each square with a skewer.
  • Bake the crackers for another 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Baking time may vary by oven. Note: The longer you bake, the crispier the cracker!
  • Let the crackers cool to room temperature before breaking them apart.
  • Store in an airtight glass jar or container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • If you're not using coconut oil, just replace its measurement with butter!
