Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup sourdough discard Make sure it’s lively and bubbly!
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Or a gluten-free alternative if necessary
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil For frying or baking
Optional Toppings
  • garlic powder
  • herbs (like rosemary or thyme)
  • nutritional yeast
  • sesame seeds

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you’re choosing the baked option.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until you have a slightly thick but cohesive dough.
  3. Incorporate any optional toppings like garlic powder or herbs right into the mixture for an extra burst of flavor.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it just a couple of times. Roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  5. Cut the dough into your desired shapes, whether they be rounds, squares, or fun shapes for kids.
Cooking
  1. To bake, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
  2. To fry, heat a pan with olive oil over medium heat, then add the cut dough and fry until both sides are crispy and golden brown.
Cooling
  1. Allow them to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-8 minutes to regain crispiness. Can freeze for up to three months.
