Ingredients:

½ cup (60 grams) all-purpose flour
½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt (adjust if using a different salt)
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup (113 grams or 1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into ½-inch cubes
½ cup (100 grams) sourdough starter discard
1 tablespoon (21 grams) honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparing the Dough

Let’s get started on our delicious Sourdough Grabeef beef beef ham Crackers! The foundation of these crackers lies in a well-developed dough, which we’ll build step-by-step.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisking thoroughly ensures that the leavening agents and salt are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture. This is crucial for consistent baking and texture. If you’re using a different type of salt, remember that Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt is less dense than table salt, so you’ll need to use a bit less if you’re using regular table salt or Morton’s brand. Alternatively, measuring by weight is always the most accurate method for salt.
Incorporate Cold Butter:

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. You can use your fingertips, a pastry blender, or a food processor to cut the butter into the flour mixture. The goal is to create a texture that resembles coarse crum extractbs, with some pieces of butter still visible, about the size of small peas. This step is vital for creating flaky crackers. The cold butter will melt during baking, creating steam pockets that contribute to a light and crisp texture. Don’t overwork the dough at this stage; we want distinct pieces of butter.
Add Wet Ingredients:

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter discard, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined. This liquid mixture will introduce moisture and the unique tangy flavor from the sourdough. The honey will add a touch of sweetness and help with browning. Pour this wet mixture into the bowl with the flour and butter mixture. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to gently mix everything together until a shaggy dough begin extracts to form. Be careful not to overmix; we’re just looking to bring the ingredients together.
Form and Chill the Dough:

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently bring the dough together with your hands, pressing it into a cohesive ball. You might need to knead it just a few times to ensure there are no dry pockets of flour. Once the dough is formed, flatten it into a disc. Wrap the disc tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 days. Chilling the dough is essential. It allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out and preventing the butter from melting too quickly. It also helps to develop the flavors.
Roll and Shape the Crackers:

When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator. Place the dough disc between two sheets of parchment paper (this prevents sticking and makes rolling easier). Roll the dough out as thinly as possible, aiming for about 1/16th of an inch thick. The thinner you roll it, the crispier your crackers will be. Carefully peel off the top layer of parchment paper. You can then score the dough into your desired cracker shapes using a knife or a pizza cutter. Alternatively, you can use small cookie cutters. Ensure the crackers are separated slightly, or they will bake together. You can dock the crackers by pricking them with a fork a few times to prevent them from puffing up too much during baking. This ensures an even, crisp texture throughout each cracker.
Bake to Golden Perfection:

Transfer the parchment-lined baking sheets to the preheated oven. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp around the edges. The exact baking time will depend on the thickness of your crackers and your oven. Keep a close eye on them, especially during the last few minutes of baking, as they can go from perfectly baked to burnt very quickly. If you notice some crackers are baking faster than others, you can remove them from the baking sheet and continue baking the rest. Once baked, remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the crackers cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This cooling process is where they achieve their ultimate crispness.
