To make the crackers, add the flour, oil, and salt to a medium bowl. Knead gently just to bring dough together. These sourdough discard crackers are too good and too easy. If you have an hour, some sourdough starter discard, olive oil and salt you can whip up a batch of the crispiest crunchiest crackers with incredibly big sourdough flavor.

Instructions to make Sourdough Crackers or Breadsticks with Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Herbs:
  1. Place all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix till well combined.
  2. Roll into a smooth ball and wrap in clingfilm before placing in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. The dough can be left in the fridge for up to 1 day.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180ºC (fan) and line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.
  4. Cut the dough in half and wrap the remaining dough in the cling film to avoid it drying out. Cut the dough you are working with in half again.
  5. IF MAKING CRACKERS: - Using a rolling pin, roll the dough as thin as possible.
  6. I use a round cookie cutter to cut the crackers into circles but you can make them any shape you like.
  7. IF MAKING BREADSTICKS: - Take a walnut size piece of dough and gently roll on a work surface until you get a long breadstick shape about 1 cm thickness.
  8. Carefully place the crackers/breadsticks onto the baking sheets and either lightly brush or spray with water before sprinkling the salt flakes or nigella seeds.
  9. Place in the oven and bake for about 15 mins, or until they are a light brown colour. (Check after 12-13 minutes)
  10. Whilst the first batch is cooking you can start preparing the second batch so they are ready to go in the over as soon as the first batch comes out.
  11. Place on a cooling rack and repeat the process with the remaining crackers/breadsticks.

Butter definitely gives the sourdough discard crackers the best flavor, but they can be made with other fats. I tested this recipe with olive oil but found that it tasted more oily than tangy. If you decide to use olive oil, I would make sure it is the highest quality you can find in order to get the best flavor. Pour in sourdough starter and olive oil and mix on low; adding additional water and flour as needed. Brush the top of the dough very lightly with some additional extra virgin olive oil, then lightly sprinkle a bit of coarse sea salt and nutritional yeast on top.
