Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 g) sourdough discard (unfed starter, room temperature)
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 2–3 tablespoons (30–45 ml) water
- 2 tablespoons (20 g) everything bagel seasoning
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional: Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, finely chopped
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (240 g) sourdough discard, 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) water. Stir with a spoon until the mixture forms a shaggy dough. Add water gradually; the dough should be soft but not sticky. (About 5 minutes)
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 2-3 minutes until smooth. Don’t overwork it—just enough for it to come together nicely.
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes at room temperature to hydrate the flour and make rolling easier.
- Roll the dough out as thinly as possible, about 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) thick. Roll between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking and make transferring easier.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into squares or rectangles, roughly 2-inch (5 cm) pieces. You can also cut into triangles or strips if you prefer.
- Brush the dough lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle everything bagel seasoning evenly over the top. Press gently so the seasoning sticks. Add a pinch of sea salt if desired.
- Transfer the baking sheet to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp around the edges. Watch carefully after 15 minutes to avoid burning.
- Remove from oven and let crackers cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. They will crisp up further as they cool.
- Store cooled crackers in an airtight container for up to a week, or serve immediately with your favorite dips or cheese.
Notes
Roll the dough very thin and evenly for the crispiest crackers. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make transferring easier. Brush olive oil before seasoning to help toppings stick. Watch the oven closely after 15 minutes to avoid burning. Cool crackers completely to achieve maximum crispness. Rotate baking sheet halfway through baking for even color and crunch. For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend. Optional additions include fresh herbs, chili flakes, or Parmesan cheese for variations.
