Equipment

Ingredients

  • 200 grams sourdough discard room temp
  • 5 tablespoons butter mostly melted
  • 1 teaspoon of salt divided
  • 1 ½ - 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, melt butter nearly all the way. Allow to cool just a bit before stirring in the sourdough discard. I like to use a fork to incorporate. Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon salt and nutritional yeast. Stir well.
  • Add the flour and stir with the fork until well combined. Knead just a couple turns. Then wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for an hour.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 F. Once the dough has finished chilling, place on a large piece of parchment paper. Sprinkle with just a bit of flour on the rolling pin and roll as thin as you can (about 1-2 mm). Sprinkle with remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
  • Place on a baking sheet and bake for 5-8 minutes. Remove and score the crackers with a pizza roller. Place back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes. Inevitably, the edges will bake quicker than the inside. I like to pull the crispy outside ones and then back it another 4-8 minutes, checking to pull other crispy ones and returning to bake a bit more. Allow crackers to cool and then store in an airtight container.

Notes

Other herbs and spices can certainly be mixed in as well. Sticking with just the salt and nutritional yeast will give a cracker that tastes very similar to square cheese crackers, but I am certain garlic or rosemary would go well too!
You can skip the nutritional yeast all together and go with an herb cracker! You get to choose!
