Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients

  • 230 grams sourdough starter active or discard - stirred down before measuring
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 120 grams all purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 8 ounces cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions
 

Main Instructions

  • Combine all dough ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine into a shaggy dough before transferring to work surface and kneading for a few minutes until you have a very cohesive dough ball.
  • Divide into two equal pieces. If desired the dough can be wrapped and refrigerated for 24 hours.
  • Roll dough between two sheets of parchment to a thickness of 1/16 of an inch. Remove top piece of parchment and cut dough into small squares or whatever shape you prefer - I like to use a pizza cutter for this.
  • Either prick the dough all over with a fork or use a toothpick to make one hole in the center of each cracker. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes until crispy and lightly golden around the edges. If baking two sheets at a time be sure to rotate the pans halfway. The length of baking time will depend on how thick or thin you roll the crackers so keep an eye on them.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool on tray. The crackers will become more crisp as they cool.

Notes

If you are using active starter and want to long-ferment the dough, you can leave it covered at room temperature for up to 8 hours before proceeding with refrigerating, rolling, and baking. Be sure to get the cracker dough very thin to ensure nice crispy crackers - 1/16th of an inch is ideal. If they aren't thin enough, they will be a little soft in the middle after baking but they're still delicious.
