Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free flour blend
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing over the crackers)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350º F to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the crackers.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup gluten free flour blend, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in 1 cup sourdough discard and 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter into the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
- Chill Dough: Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 to 45 minutes. This helps firm up the dough for easier rolling.
- Roll Out Dough: Remove dough from the fridge and place it onto parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out as thin as possible to ensure crispy crackers.
- Cut Crackers: Using a pizza wheel or sharp knife, cut the dough into your desired cracker shapes, such as squares or rectangles.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops of the crackers with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Optionally, sprinkle some coarse salt on top for extra flavor.
- Bake: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until they turn crisp and golden brown.
Notes
- Use a gluten free flour blend suitable for baking to achieve the best texture.
- Adjust the thickness of the crackers depending on preference; thinner for crispiness, slightly thicker for a crunchier bite.
- Store the crackers in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain crispness.
- Optionally, substitute dried thyme with other dried herbs like rosemary or oregano for a different flavor profile.
