Print Recipe

These crispy, herb-studded crackers use sourdough discard to create a crunchy, tangy snack perfect for snacking or entertaining. Fresh rosemary and thyme add a vibrant, aromatic flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sourdough discard (unfed starter)
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30–45 ml) water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • Black pepper, freshly cracked (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, sea salt, chopped rosemary, thyme, and black pepper if using.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Stir in sourdough discard and olive oil until mixture starts to come together.
  3. Adjust dough consistency: Gradually add water until dough forms a soft, non-sticky ball.
  4. Rest the dough: Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  6. Roll out the dough thinly (about 1/16 inch or 1.5 mm) on a lightly floured surface.
  7. Cut dough into desired shapes using a sharp knife or pizza cutter and transfer to prepared baking sheet.
  8. Optionally sprinkle extra flaky sea salt on top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking from 18 minutes until crackers are golden brown and firm.
  10. Remove from oven and transfer crackers to a cooling rack to crisp further.

Notes

Roll dough thinly and evenly for best crispness. Use fresh herbs for vibrant flavor. Store crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in oven to refresh crispness. If dough is sticky, dust hands and rolling pin with flour. Cutting dough on parchment helps keep shapes intact.
