Ingredients  

  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese 100g (cubed)
  • 1/3 cup Sourdough Discard 85g
  • 2 tbsp Butter 30g (chopped)
  • 1 tsp Salt 5g
  • 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour 65g
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne optional

Instructions 

  1. Make The Dough -
    Food Processor Method (Best for Quick Prep): With the blade attachment to cut the cheese cubes, add all the ingredients to the food processor. Pulse and blend until a dough forms and the sides are clean.
    Hand Mixing Method: Grate cheese finely and mix all ingredients in a bowl. Use your hands to bring the dough together.
  2. Rest the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or a reusable wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes (or up to 3 days in the fridge for a long ferment).
  3. Roll and Cut the Crackers: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the dough out as thin as possible on a floured surface (about ⅛ inch thick). Cut into squares, rectangles, or fun shapes using a pizza cutter or knife. Use a fork to prick each cracker to prevent puffing.
  4. Bake to Crispy Perfection: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the crackers with space in between. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet to continue crisping.
