Sourdough Discard Cheese-It Crackers

Ingredients

  • 8 oz (or one block) Shredded extra Sharp Cheddar
  • 3/4 cup Sourdough starter discard
  • 8 tbsp (one stick) Melted butter
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt (plus a little more for sprinkling)
  • 1 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour

Instructions

  • Combine shredded cheddar and melted butter in a blender or food processor to make a "cheese paste".
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, sourdough starter, and cheese paste. Incorporate ingredients with your hands until thoroughly combined. Form a dough ball.
  • Let dough rest for 25 minutes to absorb liquid. (You can also leave in the fridge for up to 2 days wrapped in plastic. This makes a for a long fermented cracker.)
  • Roll out dough between two pieces of parchment paper. Dough should be about 1/16th of an inch thick.
  • Using a pizza cutter, cut dough into strips, then across to cut make squares. (Poke at least one hole in each cracker to prevent "puffing up" as they bake!)
  • Lightly sprinkle crackers with sea salt
  • Bake at 375ยบ for 16 minutes or until brown on the edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool. (They'll crisp up even more as they cool).
