Sourdough Starter Crackers – V1

Crackers made from sourdough starter discard.

I’ve been looking for ways to use up my sourdough discard. This recipe uses 200 grams of starter to make 18 “1×3 inch” crackers:

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325
• Combine Starter, melted butter, 1/4 tsp salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian Seasoning in a bowl.
• Mix well
• Line cookie sheet with parchment paper
• Pour mixture onto parchment paper
• Spread into your desired cracker thickness with an offset spatula
• Sprinkle with salt, and some black pepper.
• Bake for 10 minutes to set the batter
• Remove from oven and score in into your desired cracker shape and size.
• Return to oven until browned (another 20 or so minutes)
  • This will depend on how thick you made them, and if your oven runs hot/cold.
  • Just check them every once in a while to see. They WILL brown quickly once they start to — watch out!

My Thoughts:

Pretty good overall! Oddly enough I liked the less browned ones better, not what I was expecting when I first tried a couple.

I think baking soda or powder might result in more bubbly/flaky crackers?

I probably should use the convection setting on my oven to prevent inconsistent browning.
