Description
A simple, savory snack made from sourdough discard and everything bagel seasoning. These zero-knead crackers are crisp, shelf-stable, and perfect for using up starter without the stress of bread baking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240g) sourdough discard
- 1 to 1.5 cups (120-180g) all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1–2 tablespoons water (only if needed)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sourdough discard, melted butter, salt, and everything bagel seasoning. Stir until evenly distributed.
- Add flour one cup at a time, stirring until the dough comes together. It should be soft but not sticky. Add water one tablespoon at a time if too crumbly, or more flour if too sticky.
- Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 10 minutes to allow flour hydration and gluten relaxation.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out as thin as possible (approx. 1/16th inch thick).
- Cut the dough into small squares or desired shapes using a pastry wheel or sharp knife.
- Transfer cut crackers to the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush tops lightly with water or melted butter and sprinkle with extra everything bagel seasoning, pressing gently to adhere.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until edges are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely until crisp.
Notes
Roll the dough very thin for crisp crackers. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. If they soften, recrisp in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes. Do not freeze as texture suffers.
