Easy Sourdough Crackers (Only 4 Ingredients)
Description
This recipe for Easy Sourdough Crackers combines sourdough discard with all-purpose flour, room temperature unsalted butter, and sea salt to form a smooth dough. After mixing, the dough is divided and shaped into rectangles, which are wrapped and chilled to firm up. Rolling the dough very thin ensures crispness. The rolled dough can also be enhanced with seeds or roasted garlic for variation. The dough sheet is pricked with a fork to prevent bubbling then cut into squares or preferred shapes. Baking at 350°F until golden brown develops a crunchy texture balanced by the subtle tang of the sourdough. Halfway through baking, stirring or repositioning the crackers promotes even cooking. Cooling on a wire rack lets the crackers fully crisp up. The result is a simple, homemade cracker ideal for serving with dips, cheese, or as a snack on their own.
The minimal four-ingredient base makes these crackers easy to prepare and adaptable to different flavor add-ins. The sourdough discard gives a mild sour note that complements the butter’s richness.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sourdough starter or discard
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsp butter room temperature, unsalted
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the discard, all-purpose flour, butter, and salt. Mix until you get a smooth texture.
- Divide the dough into two pieces and shape each one into a rough rectangle. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Lightly flour a work surface. Roll out the dough to about 1/16" thick. Optionally, add poppy seeds, sesame seeds, roasted garlic, or any other toppings you'd like and roll them gently into the dough.
- Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper. Poke the dough all over with a fork. Slice it into 2-inch squares or your preferred shapes. Place onto a sheet pan.
- Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes or until the crackers are golden brown. Halfway through baking, move the crackers around the baking sheet to promote even cooking.
- Remove the crackers from the baking sheet to a wire cooling rack. Let them rest and cool to room temperature before serving.
