Ingredients

• 120 grams Sourdough discard
• 60 grams Whole wheat flour
• 30 grams Olive oil
• 10 grams Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Fresh or dried herbs (e.g., rosemary, thyme, or oregano)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds or flaxseeds (optional topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, whole wheat flour, olive oil, and honey (or maple syrup) until a smooth dough forms.

Step 3

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, your choice of herbs, and ground black pepper if using.

Step 4

Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a rolling pin or a flat spatula to spread it out evenly until it’s very thin, about 1/8 inch thick. Tip: Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough to prevent sticking while rolling.

Step 5

If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or flaxseeds over the top of the dough and press them in gently with the rolling pin.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, score the dough into small squares or rectangles. This will make it easier to break apart once baked.

Step 7

Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, especially around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Step 9

Once cooled, break the crackers apart along the scored lines and store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
