Cheesy sourdough discard crackers are easy to make, full of flavor and a great way to use up sourdough discard.
We have a house full of snackers here, which means it’s important to have a fully stocked pantry as much as possible. I try to always have healthy or healthier style snacks on hand, but when it comes to crackers, there’s not a huge selection in my opinion, at least that my children enjoy. Homemade crackers, like these cheesy sourdough discard crackers, are a great alternative because they’re full of wholesome ingredients and no preservatives. These crackers are seriously so delicious and believe me, they don’t last very long in my house!

HOW TO MAKE CHEESY SOURDOUGH DISCARD CRACKERS
TOOLS YOU MAY NEED
- Stand mixer and dough hook
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Rolling pin
- Pizza cutter
- Fork
- Large cookie sheet
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup all purpose unbleached flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 3/4 cup sourdough discard
- 4 tbs melted butter
- 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan or cheese of choice
- Sprinkle with black pepper
DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO MAKE CHEESY SOURDOUGH DISCARD CRACKERS
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the dry ingredients and mix. Then mix in the wet ingredients to form a soft dough. If the dough is too wet, then add a bit more flour. Refrigerate the dough for one or more hours.
After refrigerating, roll the dough to as thin as you desire, around 1/8″.
Sprinkle parmesan over the entire dough, as well as black pepper, and carefully press it into the dough using the rolling pin. Then poke holes with a fork all over the dough, then cut to desired shape with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Carefully transfer the crackers to a lined baking sheet, then bake the crackers at 350°F for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and enjoy!
NOTES
- You can substitute the parmesan for your favorite cheese or cheese combination.
- Be sure to use plenty of flour when rolling out the dough to avoid the crackers sticking to the counter.
- This recipe makes several crackers, so I like to use two large baking sheets at once to cut down on the time it takes to bake all of them.
- If you want a more rustic looking cracker, you can bake the dough without cutting it into cracker shapes, then break it apart once they’ve baked and cooled.
- Store these homemade sourdough crackers in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week.
