Sometimes the best recipes are the simplest ones. These two-ingredient sourdough discard crackers are proof that you don't need a long list of ingredients to create something absolutely delicious. If you've been looking for the easiest way to use up your sourdough discard, this is it.

Why These Crackers Work The magic of these crackers lies in their simplicity. As the discard dries out in the oven, it creates a perfectly crispy cracker with a naturally tangy flavor. The everything bagel seasoning adds that perfect savory finish that makes these crackers completely addictive.

Recipe: 

Two-Ingredient Sourdough Discard Crackers Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 75 minutes Yield: 1 sheet of crackers

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup sourdough discard (room temperature)
• 2-3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

Instructions: 

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pour the sourdough discard onto the parchment paper.
Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the discard as thinly and evenly as possible. The thinner you spread it, the crispier your crackers will be.
Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning evenly over the surface.
Using a pizza cutter or knife, score the spread discard into your desired cracker shapes (optional, but makes breaking them apart easier after baking).
Bake for about 75 minutes, or until the crackers are completely dry and crispy. They should easily snap when broken.

Tips for Perfect Crackers:Ensure your discard is at room temperature for easier spreading
The thinner you spread, the crispier the result
Watch carefully toward the end of baking - edges will brown first
Let cool completely before breaking apart
If any parts aren't fully crispy after cooling, return to the oven for 5-10 minutes

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If they lose their crispness, refresh them in a 300°F oven for a few minutes.

Serving Suggestions: 

These crackers are perfect for: 

Cheese boards
Dips and spreads
Soups and salads
Snacking straight from the container

Troubleshooting: If your crackers aren't getting crispy enough, they might be spread too thick. The key to success is spreading the discard as thinly as possible. Any thick spots will remain chewy rather than crispy.

A Note on Sustainability This recipe is a perfect example of zero-waste baking. Instead of discarding your sourdough starter during feeding, you're transforming it into a delicious snack. It's a small but satisfying way to reduce food waste in your kitchen.

These crackers are proof that sometimes the simplest recipes are the best. With just your discard and some seasoning, you can create a snack that's not only delicious but also sustainable. Happy baking, and enjoy your homemade crackers!
