Ingredients
- 100g sourdough discard (100% hydration, active)
- 50g whole wheat, buckwheat, or spelt flour
- 1 cup Lifestyle Food Ultimate 4 Seed Mix
- ⅓ cup Lifestyle Food Nutritional Yeast Flakes
- ¼ tsp kosher salt (plus extra for sprinkling)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing before baking)
Optional Mix-ins:
- Grated cheese (for extra flavour)
- 1 tbsp chives
- 1 tbsp herbes de Provence
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
Method:
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sourdough discard. Add 1 cup of mixed seeds, nutritional yeast, and any additional spices or herbs of your choice. Gradually add water to form a smooth dough.
- Roll or spread the dough onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to your desired thickness.
- Brush the dough lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle with extra salt and more seeds if desired. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into 3×3 cm squares.
- Use a fork to prick several holes in each cracker. This helps them bake evenly and crisply.
- Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges of the crackers are golden brown. Halfway through, break the crackers into individual pieces to ensure they all get evenly baked and golden.
- Once baked, let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 2-3 weeks.
