Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup Sourdough Discard (unfed starter, any hydration)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (fine table salt)
- 1 pinch Sea Salt (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Melt Butter
Place 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave‑safe bowl and melt until fully liquid.
Time: PT2M
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, add 3/4 cup sourdough discard, the melted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir until a uniform, slightly sticky dough forms.
Time: PT5M
Prepare Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly drizzle a few drops of melted butter on the parchment and spread with a paper towel to prevent sticking.
Time: PT2M
Spread the Dough
Transfer the dough onto the parchment and, using a spatula or your hands, spread it as thinly and evenly as possible (about 1/8‑inch thick).
Time: PT4M
Add Topping Salt
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt evenly over the surface.
Time: PT1M
First Bake
Place the sheet in a pre‑heated oven at 325°F and bake for 10 minutes.
Time: PT10M
Temperature: 325°F
Score the Crackers
Remove the sheet and, using a pizza cutter, lightly score the dough into squares or rectangles. This prevents cracking later.
Time: PT2M
Second Bake
Return the sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 20‑30 minutes, watching closely until the edges turn golden‑brown and the crackers are crisp.
Time: PT25M
Temperature: 325°F
Cool and Store
Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack before breaking along the scored lines. Store in an airtight container.
Time: PT10M
