Equipment

  • 1 Stand mixer

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  • Add the sourdough discard, flour, seasonings, parmesan cheese and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer
  • Mix with dough hook on medium speed until fully combined and dough has formed
  • Divide the dough in thirds, and shape each section into a small rectangle
  • Cover each dough rectangle with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes in the refidgerator
  • Preheat oven to 350℉
  • Using a rolling pin, roll one dough slab on a silicone baking mat until dough is 1/16" thick
  • With a pizza cutter, cut any ragged edges to create a large, even rectangle. Set aside scraps to re-roll later
  • Cut the dough with a pizza cutter into 2 inch squares
  • Pierce each cracker twice with a fork
  • Top with flaky sea salt
  • Transfer the silicone baking mat to a baking sheet and bake crackers for 20-25 minutes, turning the tray halfway through cooking
  • Repeat with other dough slabs and scraps until all dough is used

Notes

This recipe can be made without a stand mixer by just mixing the ingredients together in a mixing bowl with a spatula, but the dough comes together a lot easier and quicker with one. 
Combine all the dough scraps from trimming the edges into a new rectangle dough slab to roll again for more crackers. 
If using parchment paper instead of silicone mats, precut the parchment paper to fit the baking sheets before rolling cracker dough. You may also need to lightly flour the parchment paper to prevent the dough from sticking.
Unbaked cracker dough stays fresh in the fridge for up to 2 days.
