Ingredients

  • 200 grams sourdough discard (about 1 cup, unfed and stirred)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Optional toppings: flaky sea salt, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, dried herbs, or everything-style seed seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix sourdough discard, melted butter, and salt until smooth and fully blended.
  3. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and use an offset spatula to spread it into a very thin, even layer (about 13×11 inches).
  4. Sprinkle optional toppings evenly over the surface.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and score into cracker shapes using a knife or pizza cutter.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until golden, dry, and crisp.
  7. Let crackers cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp as they cool.

Notes

  • Spread batter very thin for maximum crispness.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Cool completely before storing to maintain texture.
  • To restore crispness, reheat in a warm oven for a few minutes.
  • Double the recipe using two baking sheets for larger batches.
