3.9 from 3 reviews

These homemade sourdough crackers are a delightful, crispy snack made from a tangy sourdough starter and simple pantry ingredients. Perfectly golden and easy to customize with your favorite herbs or toppings, they offer a wholesome, crunchy bite that pairs wonderfully with cheese, dips, or enjoyed on their own.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 60 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups sourdough starter (or discard)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Optional Toppings

  • Herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano – quantity to your preference)
  • Additional sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the crackers.
  2. Mix Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, softened butter, sea salt, and your choice of herbs. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients join into a sticky dough.
  3. Roll Dough: Divide the dough into two equal portions. Place one portion between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out evenly to about 1/8-inch thickness. Repeat with the second portion.
  4. Score Crackers: Remove the top parchment sheet from the rolled dough. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, score the dough into squares or your preferred cracker shapes to make it easier to break after baking.
  5. Add Toppings: Lightly sprinkle the surface with any optional toppings such as extra sea salt or herbs, pressing them gently into the dough so they adhere during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the crackers turn golden and crisp. Rotate the pans halfway through baking for even cooking.
  7. Cool: Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. Cooling is essential as the crackers will crisp up further once cooled.
  8. Store: Once fully cooled, break the crackers along the scored lines and store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.

Notes

  • You can customize the crackers by adding your favorite herbs or seeds before baking for extra flavor and texture.
  • Ensure the dough is rolled evenly to prevent uneven baking.
  • Store crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • If you don’t have sourdough starter, discards from feeding your starter work perfectly in this recipe.
  • For thinner, crispier crackers, roll the dough slightly thinner than 1/8-inch.
