Looking for a quick and easy way to use up your sourdough discard? These cheesy crackers require just three ingredients—sourdough discard, butter, and cheddar cheese—and they’re sure to satisfy your snack cravings.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup sourdough discard (unfed)
- 3/4 to 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Tools:
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Mix the Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, sourdough discard, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until well mixed. The dough will be slightly sticky, which is perfectly fine! - Spread the Dough:
Spread the dough onto the parchment paper as thin as possible. Aim for about 1/8 inch thick. The thinner the dough, the crispier the crackers will be! - Bake the Crackers
Bake the crackers for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven. Using a pizza cutter, score the dough into square shapes. Return the crackers to the oven and bake until they’re golden brown and perfectly crispy. - Cool and Serve:
Let the crackers cool on the parchment paper for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Adjust Cheese Amount: If you prefer a cheesier flavor, feel free to use up to 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Flavor Variations: Experiment with different seasonings like paprika, dried herbs, or even a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick.
- Crispier Crackers: If you prefer extra crispy crackers, you can leave them in the oven for an additional minute or two, but keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Storage:
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
These simple, cheesy sourdough crackers are a great way to reduce waste while enjoying a crunchy and satisfying snack!
