Print Recipe

Enjoy these crispy, tangy sourdough cheese crackers that perfectly blend the natural flavor of fermented sourdough starter with sharp cheese for a delightful snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough starter discard (unfed)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2-3 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter discard, all-purpose flour, salt, and garlic powder.
  3. Cut the cold butter into the mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add the grated cheddar cheese and mix until evenly distributed.
  5. Slowly add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together but isn’t sticky.
  6. Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  7. Cut into desired shapes (squares or triangles) using a knife or cookie cutter and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Prick each cracker lightly with a fork to prevent puffing.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  10. Allow crackers to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle a little flaky sea salt or paprika on top before baking. These crackers pair wonderfully with your favorite cheese or dips.
