Sourdough Discard Base Recipe

BASE INGREDIENTS
1 cup of sourdough discard
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt

Pick out your flavor(s) - this recipe makes two sheets of crackers. You have the option of dividing your dough in half and making two different flavors. The amounts for flavors is for half of the dough, you will need to double if making one whole batch. 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of your flavor powder. Depending on how strong or mild you want the crackers. (I usually use 1 1/2 tablespoons since I like my crackers full of flavor)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, salt, and the flavor of your choice.
3. Use a food processor or your hands to mix the ingredients together until a dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll out the dough until it's approximately 1/8 inch thick. I use oven safe silicone mats to roll out my dough on. Then I just slide the whole thing onto the cookie sheet, and using a pizza cutter or a butter knife, cut the dough into your desired cracker shapes.
   
5. Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for about 15 - 20 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown. If your crackers are thick then add more time (but keep an eye on the edges)
   
6. Allow the crackers to cool on the baking sheet. Once completely cooled, place in air tight container or serve with your favorite cheeses or spreads. Enjoy!
