Sourdough crackers are a kid favorite! Crispy and buttery, they are a great snack idea complete with your favorite topping.
Before I became more health conscious, my favorite junk food was Cheez-its. It was something I was eating everyday at one point. Now, it has been about 3 years since I've had them. Sometimes I get a craving for them and will make these instead. I will describe below how to get that classic cheese flavor.
Some of our favorite toppings are cream cheese, smoked salmon, mashed avocado, nut butter, raw cheese, and pâté.
📖 Recipe
Sourdough Crackers
Buttery, crispy crackers made with sourdough discard
Equipment
- 1 large baking sheet or 2 medium baking sheets
- unbleached parchment paper
- silicone spatula
- small mixing bowl and spoon
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups sourdough starter

- ¼ cup parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon herbs of choice (I like rosemary) (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Line the baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
- Mix together the sourdough starter and melted butter in a small mixing bowl.
- Using a silicone spatula, thinly spread out the mixture onto the parchment paper (see notes).
- Sprinkle the parmesan cheese, herbs and salt on top.
- Bake in the oven for about 50 minutes or until golden brown. Check on the crackers after 30 minutes.
- Allow the crackers to cool before breaking them into pieces.
Notes
Make sure to spread out the starter/butter mixture very thinly or they will not be crispy.
