Crackers with sourdough

Do not though away the leftover of your starter! Do not!!!

You can make super easy crackers just adding water (or remaining beer) and flour.

Ingredients

• 70gr Sourdough or sourdough discard
• 100gr flour
• 7 tablespoons warm water
• salt
• herbs

Preparation

• Before you feed your starter, add the part that you will use to a bowl
• Add the warm water, dilute the sourdough and then add the flour
• If your dough is too dry, add a bit of water. If it is too sticky add a bit of flour. The level of hydration of the starter is different for each one, so adjust a bit the ingredients according to your starter. Have in mind that in the end, you need to roll this dough!
• Let is rest until it doubles. When the ambient temperature is warm, it just needs a couple of hours
• Preheat the oven in 200 Celcious
• Use in your baking sheet parchment paper.
• Flour the surface where you are going to roll the dough
• Cut in pieces and transfer the pieces on the parchment paper.
• You can brush the surface of the crackers either with water or with olive oil. In the case of the water they will grow and in the case of oil they will remain like normal crackers. You can check the fotos below!
• Springle them with salt and herbs. I usually use thyme and smoked paprika. The salt you could add it also directly to the dough before you roll it, but I prefer to springle it on top of the crackers.
• Bake them around 15 minutes until golden

The ones that I brushed with water are becoming like bubbles!

The ones that I brush with olive oil become normal crackers!

Notes

1. Once that I was not patient enough to wait for the dough to double, I just baked them anyway. They were ok but the flavor was not so developed. Maybe if you add more herbs then, it´s gonna be ok, cause they were the same crispy.
2. You can add a bit of oats but they will be a bit less crispy.
3. You can add different flours. I used till now: charob flour (just a teaspoon), which was very tasty and gave a sweet touch to the crackers and spelt, where I needed to adjust a bit the quantities cause of its texture and they didn´t become so golden.
4. You can add different toppings as well. Like sesame. You can see below fotos.

You can add carob in your dough like above and also sesame!
