Parmesan Crackers

INGREDIENTS
1 cup sourdough discard
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350° F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper* or a silicone baking mats.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
3. Use your hands (or a food processor) to mix the ingredients together until a dough forms.
4. If using silicone baking mats, turn half of the dough out onto mat and roll out to thin layer. Making sure there are limited high and low spots so it all bakes evenly. Using a pizza cutter cut dough into desired shapes and slide the mat onto the baking sheet.
   
5. If using parchment paper, turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough as thin as you can make it - no more the 1/8" thick. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into your desired cracker shapes. Transfer the pieces onto a prepared baking sheet.
   
6. Bake the crackers for 20 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
   
7. Allow crackers to cool on the baking sheet. Once completely cool, serve or store your crackers.

*I use silicone baking mats when it comes to crackers. It is so much easier to spread the dough out. I found that parchment paper is harder to use - especially when trying to roll out the dough. The parchment paper starts to curl with the dough on it. Never seen anything like it.
