Cracker Base
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 cup plus more whole wheat flour
Add just before baking:
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (if desired)
- 1 teaspoon seasoning
- additional seasoning and sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup sourdough starter and 1/3 cup melted butter. Mix until combined, and then add in flour. Knead until blended. Add extra flour, if needed, to form a stiff dough.
- Cover dough at let rest for 8-24 hours.
- After rest period, add in 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt and other seasonings (if desired).
- Knead cracker dough until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Divide sourdough cracker dough into four equal parts. Roll the dough out with a rolling pin, one quarter at a time, on parchment paper. (We use reusable parchment paper.)
- Cut crackers to size using a pizza cutter, or try a cookie cutter to create different shapes. Slide parchment paper onto baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes or so, checking after 10 minutes
- Transfer the sourdough crackers to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat the process for the rest of the dough.
- Store the crackers in a sealed container.
Notes
Do your best to roll the dough thinly and evenly, so they finish baking at the same time. If the crackers on the edges get done faster, remove them from the pan and return the rest of the crackers to the oven to finish baking.
