Ingredients
– 1 cup sourdough starter discard (I always keep mine in the fridge for recipes like this)
– 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
– 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for its fruity notes)
– 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
– 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (dried works, but fresh adds a brighter punch)

– 2 tablespoons cold water, as needed
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup sourdough starter discard, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
3. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until it forms a shaggy dough, adding up to 2 tablespoons cold water gradually if the dough feels too dry.
4. Tip: If the dough is sticky, lightly flour your hands to prevent it from clinging.
5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 2 minutes until smooth.
6. Divide the dough into two equal portions for easier rolling.
7. Roll out one portion of dough into a thin rectangle, approximately 1/8-inch thick, using a rolling pin.
8. Tip: Roll evenly to ensure the crackers bake uniformly without burning.
9. Use a knife or pizza cutter to score the dough into 1-inch squares or desired shapes.
10. Transfer the scored dough to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between pieces.
11. Repeat steps 7-10 with the second portion of dough.
12. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp.
13. Tip: Check at the 20-minute mark and rotate the sheet if needed for even browning.
14. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp up further.

Ingredients

– 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting the work surface

– 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, for a subtle warmth
– 2 tbsp ice water, added gradually to bring the dough together
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter discard, all-purpose flour, grated sharp cheddar cheese, cold cubed unsalted butter, fine sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to work the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, being careful not to overmix to keep the butter cold—this tip ensures flakiness.
4. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough just comes together into a shaggy ball.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to form a cohesive disk.
6. Wrap the dough disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 30 minutes to firm up, which makes rolling easier.
7. On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough out to a 1/8-inch thickness using a rolling pin.
8. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into 1-inch squares or desired shapes, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart.
9. Lightly sprinkle the tops of the crackers with additional fine sea salt for extra flavor.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are crisp—rotate the pans halfway through for even baking, another key tip.
11. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the sheets to crisp up further; they will firm as they cool, so patience is a virtue here.
12. Once cooled, transfer the crackers to an airtight container for storage.

Serving: About 60 crackers | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup (about 240g) active sourdough starter, bubbly and lively—I find using starter at its peak gives the best rise and tang.
– ½ cup (60g) whole wheat flour, for a hearty, earthy base.
– ¼ cup (30g) rye flour, which adds a subtle, malty depth I adore.
– ¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour, to balance the dough’s texture.

– 1 tablespoon (15ml) pure maple syrup, for a hint of sweetness that complements the grains.

– ¼ cup (35g) mixed seeds (such as sesame, flax, and poppy), for a beautiful, crunchy topping—I often use whatever I have on hand.
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, whole wheat flour, rye flour, all-purpose flour, olive oil, maple syrup, and sea salt.
3. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms, then knead it by hand in the bowl for about 2 minutes until smooth and cohesive. Tip: If the dough feels too sticky, add a sprinkle of all-purpose flour; if too dry, a teaspoon of water can help.

11. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through, until the crackers are golden brown and crisp. Tip: Check at 20 minutes—edges should be firm and lightly browned to avoid over-baking.
12. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets, about 30 minutes, before breaking along the scored lines.

3. Gradually add 1 cup all-purpose flour to the wet mixture, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms—it should pull away from the sides of the bowl.
4. Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it, kneading gently for about 2 minutes until it becomes smooth and cohesive, adding a sprinkle more flour if too sticky to handle.
5. Divide the dough into two equal portions for easier rolling, then use a rolling pin to roll each portion into a thin rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick, aiming for even thickness to ensure uniform baking.
6. Transfer the rolled dough to the prepared baking sheet, then use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to score it into 24 even squares or rectangles, cutting through but not separating them completely.
7. Lightly brush the top of the dough with a bit of water using a pastry brush, then sprinkle generously with additional fine sea salt for that crave-worthy salty finish.
8. Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp around the edges, rotating the pan halfway through for even browning.
9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the pan for at least 10 minutes, as they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
10. Once cooled, break the crackers apart along the scored lines and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes

– 1 cup (about 240g) unfed sourdough starter discard – I always keep mine in the fridge for such projects, as its tanginess adds wonderful depth.

– ¼ cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil – this is my go-to for a fruity, rich base that complements the spices.

– ½ teaspoon fine sea salt – I always opt for fine-grain to ensure even distribution without crunch.
– ¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting – a high-quality unbleached flour gives the best structure.
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup sourdough starter discard, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon fine sea salt, stirring with a spatula until fully incorporated and smooth.
3. Gradually add ¼ cup all-purpose flour to the mixture, folding it in until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms; if it feels too wet, dust your hands lightly with extra flour when handling. Tip: Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate, making it easier to roll out.
4. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour, then place the dough on it and roll it out into a thin rectangle, about ⅛-inch thick, using a rolling pin; aim for even thickness to ensure uniform baking.
5. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, gently pressing it in with your hands or the rolling pin to adhere.
6. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to score the dough into 1-inch squares or rectangles, cutting through but not separating them completely. Tip: Chilling the scored dough in the freezer for 10 minutes helps prevent shrinking and yields cleaner edges.
7. Transfer the scored dough on the parchment paper to the prepared baking sheet, then bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp at the edges. Tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even color and to avoid hot spots.
8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the sheet, about 15 minutes, before breaking them apart along the scored lines.

They offer a delightful crunch and a rich, cheesy flavor that belies their plant-based nature, making them a sophisticated yet approachable addition to any gathering or quiet moment of indulgence. This recipe celebrates the magic of fermentation and umami in a crisp, golden form.
Serving: 24 crackers | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup active sourdough starter, bubbly and lively—I find a mature starter gives the best tang.
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting the work surface.
– 1/4 cup nutritional yeast, which I always keep on hand for its savory, cheesy punch.
– 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, my go-to for its fruity notes that complement the sourdough.
– 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, for balancing the flavors perfectly.
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, just a hint to add depth without overpowering.
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, nutritional yeast, extra virgin olive oil, fine sea salt, and garlic powder.
3. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until it forms a shaggy dough, then use your hands to knead it gently in the bowl for about 1 minute until smooth. Tip: If the dough feels too sticky, add a sprinkle of flour, but avoid overworking it to keep the crackers tender.
4. Lightly dust a clean work surface with all-purpose flour and place the dough on it.
5. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1/8 inch, aiming for an even rectangle. Tip: Rotate the dough occasionally while rolling to prevent sticking and ensure uniform thickness.
6. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to score the dough into 24 squares, approximately 2 inches each, without separating them fully.
7. Carefully transfer the scored dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a spatula or your hands.
8. Prick each cracker square lightly with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the crackers are crisp. Tip: Check at the 20-minute mark—if they need more time, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
10. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the sheet for 10 minutes to crisp up further.
11. Gently break the crackers apart along the scored lines.
Creating these crackers yields a satisfyingly crisp texture with a subtle sourdough tang and a rich, umami finish from the nutritional yeast. They pair beautifully with creamy dips like hummus or stand alone as a sophisticated snack with a glass of wine, offering a vegan delight that feels indulgent and refined.
Jalapeño and Cheddar Sourdough Crackers
Glistening with flecks of sharp cheddar and studded with fiery jalapeño, these sourdough crackers transform humble pantry staples into an artisanal snack. They offer a satisfying crunch and a sophisticated flavor profile that belies their simple preparation, making them an elegant yet approachable addition to any gathering. This recipe harnesses the tangy depth of sourdough discard, ensuring not a scrap goes to waste while creating something truly special.
Serving: 24 crackers | Pre Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
– ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed—I keep mine in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand for the flakiest texture
– 1 cup (about 100g) sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated on the large holes of a box grater for maximum melt
– 2 tablespoons finely minced pickled jalapeños, patted very dry with paper towels to prevent a soggy dough
– ½ cup (120g) active sourdough starter discard, at room temperature to incorporate smoothly
– 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus extra for sprinkling
– ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
– 1 large egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon water for the egg wash
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper with a whisk.
2. Add ½ cup cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture, and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
3. Stir in 1 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons finely minced, patted-dry pickled jalapeños until evenly distributed.
4. Pour in ½ cup room temperature sourdough starter discard, and mix with a fork just until a shaggy dough forms. Tip: Avoid overmixing to keep the crackers tender.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and gently knead it 3–4 times to bring it together into a cohesive ball.
6. Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a flat disc about ½-inch thick. Wrap each disc tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
8. On a lightly floured surface, roll one dough disc out to a ⅛-inch thickness, using a ruler to ensure evenness for consistent baking.
9. Use a sharp knife or a fluted pastry wheel to cut the dough into 1½-inch squares, and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them ½ inch apart.
10. Brush the tops of the crackers lightly with the beaten egg wash, and sprinkle with a pinch of fine sea salt.
11. Bake in the preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20–25 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until the crackers are golden brown and crisp at the edges. Tip: Watch closely in the final minutes, as they can go from golden to overdone quickly.
12. Transfer the baked crackers to a wire rack to cool completely, which allows them to crisp up fully. Tip: They will continue to harden as they cool, so don’t worry if they seem slightly soft out of the oven.
Remarkably crisp and delightfully savory, these crackers offer a perfect balance of tangy sourdough, rich cheddar, and a gentle jalapeño heat that lingers pleasantly. Serve them alongside a sharp artisanal cheese board or crumbled over a creamy tomato soup for a textural contrast that elevates the simplest of meals.

– ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (I prefer European-style for its rich flavor)
– 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper (coarse grind adds wonderful texture)

Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, cold cubed butter, black pepper, thyme, and sea salt.
2. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Tip: Keep the butter cold to ensure flaky layers in the baked crackers.
4. Knead the dough gently in the bowl until it just comes together into a smooth ball, avoiding overworking it.
5. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up, which makes rolling easier.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
7. On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough out to ⅛-inch thickness, using a ruler for evenness.
8. Tip: Roll from the center outward and rotate the dough periodically to prevent sticking.
9. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 2-inch squares or rectangles, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.
10. Brush the tops of the crackers lightly with extra virgin olive oil for a golden finish.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through, until the edges are crisp and lightly browned.
12. Tip: Watch closely near the end, as baking times can vary slightly based on thickness.
13. Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheets to crisp up further.
