Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sourdough discard
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour (can substitute half with whole wheat flour)
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 34 tablespoons (4560 ml) water, added gradually
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons (20 g) everything bagel seasoning (homemade blend):
  • – 1 teaspoon (2 g) poppy seeds
  • – 1 teaspoon (2 g) sesame seeds
  • – 1 teaspoon (2 g) dried minced garlic
  • – 1 teaspoon (2 g) dried minced onion
  • – 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) flaked sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sea salt, and 1 tablespoon of everything bagel seasoning.
  3. Stir in sourdough discard and olive oil until mixture is crumbly.
  4. Add water gradually, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until a soft, cohesive dough forms. It should be slightly tacky but not sticky. Add an extra teaspoon of water if too dry.
  5. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 2 minutes until smooth. Avoid overworking.
  6. Roll dough thinly to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness using a rolling pin. Sprinkle flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  7. Transfer rolled dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cut into 2-inch (5 cm) squares or rectangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Do not separate pieces.
  8. Lightly brush dough surface with olive oil and sprinkle remaining everything bagel seasoning evenly on top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating pan halfway through. Begin checking at 18 minutes; crackers should be golden and crisp but not dark brown.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool completely on baking sheet. Once cool, break apart along scored lines.

Notes

If dough is too soft when rolling, chill wrapped in plastic for 10-15 minutes. Brush with oil before baking to enhance flavor and help seasoning stick. Press crackers gently with spatula if they puff up too much during baking. Let crackers cool fully before breaking to ensure crispness. Can substitute olive oil with avocado oil or use gluten-free flour blends for dietary needs. Air frying at 320°F (160°C) for 12 minutes is a good alternative for smaller batches.
