These sourdough crackers are simple to make using sourdough discard, making them a great way to reduce waste. They are crispy, cheesy from the Parmesan, and have a savory boost from nutritional yeast. Perfect for a quick snack or pairing with your favorite dips.

60gramsunsalted butter4 tablespoons, room temperature
20gramsParmesan¼ cup, finely grated
2tablespoonsnutritional yeast

Coarse saltfor topping
Instructions
In a bowl, mix the sourdough discard, flour, salt, butter, Parmesan, and nutritional yeast until you get a smooth dough. It should not be sticky, add a little flour if needed. Shape the dough into a rectangle, wrap it in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the dough on parchment paper to about 1/16 inch thick. Try to keep it even, but rustic edges are fine.
Use a fork to prick the dough all over to stop it from puffing up. Cut the dough into squares or rectangles with a knife or pizza cutter.
Transfer the parchment with the dough to a baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning the pan halfway through. The crackers should be golden and crisp around the edges.
Let them cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps the crackers hold their shape and makes rolling easier. Don’t skip this step—it’s worth the short wait!
Roll evenly so the crackers bake uniformly. Thicker spots may stay soft while thinner ones brown too quickly.
Pricking the dough with a fork keeps the crackers from puffing up.
