Ingredients
  

  • 100 g cheese
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne
  • 50 g sourdough discard
  • 20 g all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Blend together cheese, seasoning, and sourdough discard. Transfer the dough onto a work surface and knead to form a cohesive dough ball. If it is too wet, add some more flour.
  • On a silicone baking mat, shape the dough into a rectangle. Roll it out to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. Use a fork to prick holes evenly across the surface of the dough. Then, using a bench scraper or a knife, lightly score the dough into squares. Transfer the baking mat onto a baking sheet
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the crackers are toasted and crisp. Halfway through the bake, check on the crackers to remove any pieces that cooked faster and break the crackers along the lines you cut and scatter them so they evenly cook.
  • Let the crackers cool completely before storing in a dry air-tight container where they can stay fresh up to a few weeks.
