Serves: 24 crackers
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free sourdough starter
- 1/2 cup gluten free flour blend
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper and preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the gluten free sourdough starter, gluten free flour blend, salt, and olive oil. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, cohesive dough forms.
- If using herbs, gently fold them into the dough, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper dusted with additional gluten free flour blend. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough extremely thin, approximately 1/16 inch thick, creating an even surface.
- Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, carefully score the rolled dough into small rectangular or square shapes, approximately 2 inches in size.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional salt or herbs on top of the scored dough for extra flavor.
- Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the scored dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Remove from oven when crackers are golden brown and crisp, with edges slightly darker and curled.
- Allow crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet for maximum crispness, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Once cooled, break along the scored lines and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly for the best flavor and texture.
- Roll the dough as thin as possible - thinner dough means crispier crackers!
- Use parchment paper to make transferring and rolling the delicate dough easier.
- Don't skip the cooling process; letting crackers cool completely guarantees maximum crunchiness.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like rosemary, thyme, or za'atar for unique flavor profiles.
- Store crackers in an airtight container to maintain their crisp texture for up to 5 days.
- If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil during baking to prevent burning.
