Notes
Expert tips
- Don’t skip the chill. Once the dough is in the fridge, the cold temperature will bind the dough together and prevent it from crumbling.
- Dock the crackers. AKA prick each cracker a few times with a fork before they go into the oven. This will encourage steaming, preventing the crackers from becoming too soft.
- They don’t have to look perfect. Rustic-looking crackers are just as tasty as the perfect ones! Don’t feel like each one has to be a neat shape.
- Check on the crackers at the 20-minute mark. All ovens vary in temperature, which means your crackers may take longer or less time to bake.
- Did some of the crackers burn? Sourdough starter discard recipes are all about lessening food waste, so take those burnt crackers and pulse them into breadcrumbs using a food processor.
