Sourdough Crackers

Sour Dough Crackers

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1 cup sourdough starter (unfed or discarded)

4 TBSP butter, room temperature

2 TBSP herbs (optional)

Olive oil for brushing

Coarse salt for sprinkling on top

Mix together the flour, salt, sourdough starter, butter, and optional herbs to make a smooth, cohesive dough. Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a small rectangular slab. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.  Roll out between two floured sheets of parchment paper, then transfer to a cookie sheet.  Cut with a pizza wheel. 

Poke with a fork, brush with oil and sprinkle with salt.  Bake at 350 F 20-25 minutes.  Store airtight at room temperature for up to a week; freeze for longer storage.
