Scale

1 cup all purpose or bread flour

1 cup unfed sourdough starter discard

1/4 cup melted, unsalted butter

1/4 cup Texas Pete hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix flour, sourdough starter, cheese, melted butter, and hot sauce together. 

2. Form into a smooth, cohesive ball of dough

3. Split dough in half and shape into two rectangular pieces. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow dough to harden.

7. Prick each square with a fork.

8. Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Turn baking dish halfway to ensure all sides bake evenly.

Notes

  • Two baking sheets are recommended to bake both sections of dough at once. 
  • Crackers may be baked directly on baking sheet, on parchment paper, or silicone baking mat. 
  • Store in an airtight container in the pantry for up to a week or 3 months in the freezer.
