Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed starter)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (or sweet paprika)
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor
  • Flaky sea salt (for topping)
Instructions

Mix the Dough:
In a medium bowl, combine the sourdough discard, flour, olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until a soft dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add a little extra flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until manageable.
Chill the Dough:
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to roll out.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll Out the Dough:
Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough out very thinly (about 1/16 inch). The thinner the dough, the crispier the crackers will be.
Cut Into Mini Shapes:
Use a small cookie cutter (or a knife) to cut the dough into mini shapes, such as squares, circles, or rectangles. Transfer the shapes to the prepared baking sheets.
Top the Crackers:
Lightly brush the tops of the crackers with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Bake the Crackers:
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them, as thinner crackers may bake faster.
Cool and Store:
Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container. They will stay crisp for up to a week.
