Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough starter, active or discard, stirred down
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 8 ounce sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
  • 3 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon flaky salt (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine the sourdough starter, flour, shredded cheddar, melted butter or oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix until a dough forms.

2. Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper, aiming for an even thickness of about 1/8 inch. Remove the top parchment and use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into your desired cracker shapes. Transfer the crackers, still on the bottom parchment, to the prepared baking sheet.

3. Sprinkle the crackers with the optional flaky salt, if using, for a delightful textural contrast. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the crackers are crisp. Be sure to keep a close eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary.

4. Once baked, allow the Sourdough Cheese Crackers to cool completely before serving. This important step ensures they maintain their crisp texture and prevents any sogginess. Enjoy these savory snacks on their own or pair them with your favorite dips, cheeses, and beverages.

Notes

Homemade Sourdough Cheese Crackers are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored for later. Once cooled, place the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature. They will typically maintain their crisp texture for up to a week.

For longer storage, you can freeze the crackers in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Frozen Sourdough Cheese Crackers will keep for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, simply reheat them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore their crispness.
