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

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine shredded cheddar and melted butter in a blender or food processor to make a "cheese paste".

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, sourdough starter, and cheese paste. Incorporate ingredients with your hands until thoroughly combined. Form a dough ball.

  3. 3

    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.)

  4. 4

    Roll out dough between two pieces of parchment paper. Dough should be about 1/16th of an inch thick.

  5. 5

    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!)

  6. 6

    Lightly sprinkle crackers with sea salt

  7. 7

    Bake at 375º 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).
