Cook Time 1 hour
Servings: 4

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup discarded sourdough starter 200 g, stirred down
  • 2 tbsp butter 28 g, melted
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt 1 g
  • 2 tsp dried herbs Herbs de Provence
  • 1/4 tsp salt 1 g, for sprinkling on top

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a mixing bowl and let cool.
  2. Weigh the sourdough discard, dried herbs, and salt into the bowl of melted butter and mix thoroughly until well combined. Use an offset spatula to spread the mixture in a thin, even layer onto the parchment paper. Sprinkle the top with salt.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and score the crackers. Bake an additional 20 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely before breaking into squares. (Oven temperatures vary — check at 20 minutes so they do not over-bake.)

Notes

Because these crackers are so thin, they can brown quickly in some ovens — check at the 20-minute mark the first time. The discard can be used cold or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container up to one week. Fresh herbs and grated hard cheeses can be added for different flavors.
