Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

• In a mixing bowl, combine sourdough discard, shredded cheese, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour (if using), butter, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Chill the Dough (Optional):

• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes to make it easier to roll out.

Roll Out the Dough:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thickness.

Cut the Crackers:

• Remove the top parchment sheet and transfer the dough (still on the bottom parchment) to a baking sheet. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to score the dough into square or rectangular cracker shapes.

Add Toppings:

• Brush the dough lightly with water or olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt for added flavor.

Bake the Crackers:

• Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crispy. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.

Cool and Serve:

• Let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Store in an airtight container.
