Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 scant teaspoon table salt
- olive oil for brushing
- kosher salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sourdough discard, both flours, melted butter, and table salt.
- Stir until well combined. If dough is very sticky, add a bit more flour until it is manageable.
- Divide dough into two pieces and form each into a disk. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Remove one disk of dough from refrigerator and unwrap.
- Place on a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll dough to be under ⅛” thick (<3mm). While rolling, occasionally use a spatula to scrape under the dough to keep it from sticking too much to your countertop. Transfer sheet to prepared baking sheet and use a fork to pierce dough all over (to help prevent bubbles).
- Lightly brush all over with olive oil, then use a pizza wheel or pastry cutter to cut into 2” squares (no need to separate the crackers).
- Sprinkle liberally with kosher salt. Transfer to center rack of 375F (190C) oven and bake until light golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Repeat steps 5-8 with second disk of dough.

Notes
- Crackers will still be a little soft while warm. If they have cooled completely and still are not very crisp, you can pop them back in the oven a bit longer to crisp them up.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
