Yay! Another sourdough recipe! :) I'll definitely have to make these for Gen. Thanks! Michele Michele said... I'm back :) We made a batch of these earlier this week, and Gen loves them! :) I brushed on some basil/garlic-infused olive oil before baking. Thanks! Michele Rebekah said... I just made your crackers they are really awesome! Thanks for the recipe!! Jen said... Thank you, thank you, thank you for this recipe! We LOVE the crackers. I thought I'd share how I modified it a bit in order to soak the 1 cup of flour added into the dough. I warmed my coconut oil, and mixed it with 1 cup whole wheat flour and about a tablespoon of buttermilk. I let it sit for about 12 hours. Then I sprinkled the sea salt and baking powder onto the soaked flour, added the sourdough on top of that and kneaded the whole thing together. I still had to add in a little more flour, and of course use some when rolling out the dough. This should help save on that expensive (or time-consuming) sprouted flour though. Next time I think I will soak a little more than 1 cup. I also think I could use a little more buttermilk. Congrats on your soon to be new addition! Jen Katie @ Kitchen Stewardship said... I thought crackers would be a safe thing to try for my first attempt at sourdough anything with my "wild yeast" starter that I "captured" this week. It worked great! These are really tasty with garlic powder and Ital. seasoning. Leah loves them! (And so does hubby, which is saying something.) Thanks!! Michaela Dunn Leeper said... Yum! I've finally managed a working starter & have recently found a pate recipe. I'd rather serve my nourishing pate on a nourishing cracker. Thanks! Michaela Dunn Leeper said... Bestill my heart! These are good! Sarah said... Yum! I just made them today and they are a big hit. Thanks for sharing! I want to try the cheese ones next. Wood said... These crackers are delightful! Like a PP, I modified the recipe so that whole grain flour would be "soaked." I used my inactive starter (discarded from feedings but not thrown away!) and omitted the baking soda. I combined all the other ingredients as the recipe directs and let it sit covered, for 12-24 hours instead of 10 min. I rolled the dough out on a silpat, then brushed on the oil and sprinkled the salt, THEN cut it with a pizza cutter and then transferred the silpat to my baking sheet. (I figured this out after making a few batches with transferring the crackers one by one to the baking sheet.) This made it SO EASY! One could probaby roll the dough out on parchment paper too if they don't have a silpat. This way I didn't need any extra flour for dusting and didn't tear up the delicate dough. They shrink slightly while baking, so they were all separated by the time they came out of the oven. FWIW, I have a white flour starter. I used lard. I wonder how they would be with butter? I think the lard is what really makes them nice though! Original comments from former blog:

I would like to add a few tips for other people new to this- I used coconut oil & starter straight from the fridge- this gave me little balls of coconut oil in my dough (I had to gently warm the dough in the oven & remix). Next time I will get out the starter a few hours before making the crackers so it comes to room temp. (& melt the coco oil). I have extra large cookie sheets, so I divided the dough in half & rolled it out directly onto parchment paper (didn't roll all the way to the edge so I could hold the paper in place with my tummy against the counter) cut with pizza cutter, then slid the paper onto my cookie sheets. I didn't brush with olive oil (I missed that part of the instructions?) and used sea salt (smaller than kosher but bigger than table salt) & it worked fine. Oh, and letting them cool for a couple hours will help make sure they stay crispy when stored. Next time I want to try adding in shredded cheese to the dough!
