Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sourdough starter unfed
  • 4 TB unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 TB dried herbs or spices
  • coarse salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  • 1. Mix together the flour, salt, sourdough starter, butter, and herbs or spices to make a smooth dough.
    2. Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a small rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer, until the dough is firm.
    3. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
    4. Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper, your rolling pin, and the top of the dough.
    5. Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough to about 1/16" thick. Try to make it as even as possible.
    6. Transfer the dough and parchment together onto a baking sheet. Lightly brush with oil and then sprinkle the salt over the top of the crackers.
    7. Cut the dough into 1 1/2" squares, a pizza cutter works well here.
    8. Poke each square with the tines of a fork. This will keep them from puffing up.
    9. Bake the crackers for about 20 minutes, until the squares are starting to brown around the edges.
    10. When fully done, remove the crackers from the oven, and transfer them to a cooling rack.
    11. Enjoy!
