    These thin and crispy Everything But The Bagel Sourdough Discard Crackers are the perfect solution to your sourdough discard!

    These thin and crispy Everything But The Bagel Sourdough Discard Crackers are the perfect solution to your sourdough discard!

    What is Sourdough Discard

    Sourdough discard is the portion of your sourdough starter that you get rid of whenever you do a feeding. While some people toss their sourdough discard, I save mine because I feel bad “wasting” all the flour that was used towards the starter.

    Sourdough Discard

    Overtime, you’ll accumulate quite a bit of discard so here’s a delicious recipe for you to try. It only takes a handful of ingredients and has a tasty tangy flavour that you’ll recognize from sourdough bread. They’re so delicious and addictive that every time I make them, I eat the entire batch in one sitting! H has yet to have a chance to try it as I finish it before he gets to them lol. Sorry, not sorry.

    These crackers are SO good and just check out the pictures down below – they’re so crispy on the bottom!

    What You’ll Need To Make These Sourdough Discard Crackers

    • sourdough discard
    • unsalted butter, melted
    • everything but the bagel seasoning

    You’ll also need parchment paper and a sheet pan.

    https://amzn.to/2SC2lDC

    Don’t have Everything but the Bagel Seasoning? Here’s how you can make your own. Combine the following and store in an airtight container in your pantry:

    • 2 tbsps poppy seeds
    • 1 tbsp white sesame seeds
    • 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
    • 1 tbsp dried minced garlic
    • 1 tbsp dried minced onion
    • 2 teaspoons sea salt flakes

    How To Make Everything But The Bagel Sourdough Discard Crackers

    • Combine the sourdough discard with the melted butter. It’ll look a little odd at first but trust in the process! Keep stirring.
    • On a parchment lined sheet pan, use a spoon or spatula to spread out the mixture evenly, making sure that the edges aren’t too thin as it’ll burn.
    • Sprinkle on the everything but the bagel seasoning and bake in a 350F oven for 10 minutes.

    Sprinkle on the everything but the bagel seasoning and bake in a 350F oven for 10 minutes.

    • Remove the sheet pan and lightly score the mixture so you can easily break it into crackers later. I chose to score mine into 24 small pieces. You can score it into larger 12 pieces or whatever amount you’d prefer.
    • Place it back in the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes or until golden, keeping an eye on it to ensure nothing burns.
    • When done, let it cool until it’s cool to touch then break up the crackers into the squares you scored earlier.

    Tips and Notes

    • the EBTB seasoning is quite salty so be sure to use unsalted butter to avoid overly salty crackers.
    • if you have leftover crackers, store in an airtight container for up to a week.
    • the sourdough discard can be used either, cold or at room temperature.
    • this recipe can be halved or baked on you smaller sheet pans
    • these crackers can be cut however you want – check out the pictures down below when I was playing around with how I wanted my cracker shape to be!

      Ooo, I love this idea! I used to use my discard to make pancakes, but crackers would be awesome too! My starter died in my cross-country move so I’ve been meaning to make a new one!

      I love this recipe! It’s such a great way to use up lots of starter discard that isn’t pancakes or biscuits. I don’t have the seasoning, but some sesame seeds and a pinch of salt is all I use and they still turn out great. Thanks for a great recipe!

      These are delicious and easy. I used a pastry brush to make the dough really thin. I’ve tried other recipes and if the crackers are thick, they’re a bit chewy. These turned out really crisp, and they stay crisp in the container. Great recipe!

      I call these “Crack Crackers”, because they’re not only delicious, but they’re addictive. LOL This has become my “go to” discard recipe. Thanks for this wonderful EBTB recipe. We’re hooked!

      Hi Carmy,
      Thank you for the recipe! I’ve made 2 batches & the first was too salty as I didn’t heed your warning to go easy on the Everything seasoning & used salted butter! The 2nd batch was delicious with Herbs de’Provence! Yum, thank you!!!!

      I found this recipe on Pinterest after looking up what to do with my discards. OMG this is the easiest and so yummy. I never though of crackers with my starter discard. I regret all the discard I have thrown away. I can’t wait to make my next batch. The flavors are endless too. THANKS!!!!

      Just what I wanted.. it’s still in the Owen while I am making this comment. My discard was way too liquid and had to add some flour to is and make it thicker.
      Let’s hope it’s going to be OK and make more of these crackers. Perfect with some tea or coffee :)
      Cheers

      This is the perfect sourdough discard recipe! Easy, fast, doesn’t use any extra flour, customizable, great taste! I’m blown away. I made one batch, tasted one, and immediately made another batch. We love crackers in my house:). Now I can finally stop looking for discard recipes!

      Jessica, thank you for the recipe! Easiest sourdough crackers I’ve made! And delicious! I used an offset spatula to spread (like you use to spread frosting on a cake) and it worked really well.
