Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 crackers

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup whole wheat flour
  2. 1/2 cup sourdough starter
  3. 1/4 cup olive oil
  4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  5. 1 tablespoon herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the crackers from sticking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. If you're using herbs, add 1 tablespoon of your choice (such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano) to the dry mixture for added flavor.
  3. In another bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of sourdough starter and 1/4 cup of olive oil until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. If it’s too dry, add a little water; if it’s too wet, add a bit more flour.
  5. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thickness. Try to keep it as even as possible for uniform baking.
  6. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference. You can also use cookie cutters for fun shapes.
  7. Place the cut crackers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cracker.
  8. Optional: Use a fork to prick the tops of the crackers. This helps them bake evenly and prevents puffing.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
  10. Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade sourdough whole wheat crackers as a snack or with your favorite dips!

Tips

  1. Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to get creative with your herbs! Try adding garlic powder, smoked paprika, or even a sprinkle of cheese to the dough for a unique twist.
  2. Achieve Perfect Thickness: For uniform baking, aim for a consistent thickness of about 1/8-inch when rolling out the dough. This ensures that all crackers bake evenly and reach that perfect crunch.
  3. Keep an Eye on the Oven: Ovens can vary, so start checking your crackers a few minutes before the suggested baking time to avoid over-baking. You want them golden brown, not burnt!
  4. Storage Tips: To keep your crackers fresh and crispy, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can also be frozen for longer storage—just make sure to let them cool completely before freezing.
  5. Serve with Style: These crackers are versatile! Serve them with hummus, guacamole, or your favorite cheese spread for an impressive appetizer that’s sure to delight your guests.
