Thin and crispy, these sourdough discard crackers are my favorite way to use sourdough discard! We're transforming what would be food waste into a perfect snack. This easy, no-roll recipe takes only 3 ingredients and 3 minutes of your time.
Salt, nutritional yeast, parmesan cheese or other mix-ins or toppingsoptional
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the starter, olive oil, and salt together. You're aiming for a thin batter to make crispy crackers. It should be just a bit thinner than pancake batter. (I added paprika here for a pop of color!).
Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet covered with a piece of parchment paper.
Place the tray in the oven that's been preheated to 345°F (around 175°C) for 8 minutes. Once the time is up, remove the tray and use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the crackers. This will make it simpler to separate them once they're fully baked. I typically cut them into small, equal-sized squares or rectangle shapes.
Continue baking the crackers for another 20 minutes at 345°F (approximately 175°C). If you like very crunchy crackers, you can extend the baking time by a minute or two. Aim to take the crackers out of the oven when they get a nice, golden brown color. Be sure to break them apart carefully after they are done baking and let the crackers cool.

Notes
It doesn't matter how much discard you have; you can make a lot or just a little. Just make sure to calculate the right ratios for the ingredients, and you are good to go!
A silicone spatula works best for spreading the mixture onto a baking tray.
Try to spread the mixture out as much as possible. The thinner the mixture, the crispier the crackers!
Use a fork to make little dents in the crackers when you cut mid-baking. This will give them the look of store-bought crackers.
Don't try to fully separate them when you cut them mid-baking - they'll usually still stick together a bit, but after they are finished baking, they will dry out even more. That'll shrink them and separate them for you. If they still don't separate, just break them apart a bit when they're done,
