Spicy Sourdough Crackers

This is the best version of my classic sourdough crackers and the result is a super addictive snack! These crackers are savoury, salty and a bit spicy. The freshly ground black pepper on top make the whole difference!

Recipe

How much time you need?

• Preparation time: 20 min

• Cook time: 30 min

• Total time: 50 min

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (250g) Sourdough starter discard

• 1 cup (150g) plain flour

• 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil

• 1 teaspoon salt flakes

• 1,5 tablespoon dried herbs (mix of garlic powder, chilli flakes, thyme, oregano, basil and chives)

• 1/4 teaspoon of Cayenne pepper

• Extra salt flakes for sprinkling

• Freshly ground black pepper

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 170ºC (convection) or 160 ºC (fan-forced). Get a large baking tray. Place starter discard, flour, oil, salt, cayenne pepper and dried herbs in a bowl. Mix and then knead into a not too soft dough. Add a pinch of flour if needed. Cover the bowl and let rest for 30 minutes. Flatten dough to a 1mm thickness. Sprinkle the salt flakes and the black pepper and roll the rolling pin one more time over the dough so the salt and the pepper stick to the dough. Using a sharp pasta cutter or knife, cut the dough into small squares or desired shape (squares, rectangles, long sticks or triangles) 🔪 Pick the dough sheets with a fork to prevent big globes to appear during the baking.

Bake for 20 minutes or until slightly golden. When the crackers are cooked, place them in a cooling rack and let cool for 20 minutes. Store in a airtight container for up to a week.

Enjoy!
