Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs (such as rosemary or thyme, optional)
For Topping
- Additional salt for sprinkling to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and dried herbs (if using). Stir until a cohesive dough forms.
- Roll Out Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to approximately 1/8 inch thick, ensuring even thickness for crispiness.
- Cut Crackers: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into desired shapes such as squares, rectangles, or triangles for easy snacking.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the cut crackers evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly sprinkle additional salt on top for flavor enhancement.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crackers turn golden brown and become crispy.
- Cool: Remove crackers from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring maximal crispness.
Notes
- Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly to achieve the best texture.
- If you prefer different flavors, experiment with other herbs or spices like smoked paprika or cumin.
- Store baked crackers in an airtight container to maintain crispiness for up to one week.
- For gluten-free options, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend but adjust moisture levels accordingly.
