Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Rest: 1 hour
Servings: 60 Crackers

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 8 Tablespoons Cold Salted Butter Divided
  • 2 Tablespoons Avocado Oil
  • 60 Grams Sourdough Discard
  • 1/3 Cup Water
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Coarse Salt For Topping

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine your flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in 6 tablespoons of cold butter and use a pastry cutter to further cut it down into the mixture until the butter is about the size of peas.
  2. Pour over your avocado oil and discard, giving it a good mix. Pour over your water slowly and start to knead and press your dough together. Make this process quick so our butter does not overly soften from the heat of your hands. Once the dough forms into a ball, give it a good press to remove any air or uneven texture and place it covered or cling wrapped in the fridge for at least an hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  4. Remove your dough and place it onto a floured surface. Roll out your dough until desired thickness. I go either quite thin or a little thick. Depends on what you are going for! Use a circle cutter to cut circles from the dough and place onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. If you don't have the patience to use a cookie cutter, use a pizza slicer instead and go across the dough to make square shapes.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes and as soon as they are removed from the oven, brush them with the remaining butter.
  6. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
