How to make Sourdough Crackers

[@OurGabledHome]

Do you have a favorite cracker or flatbread? Let me know in the comments!

[@gaianeg7927]

Thank you for the respond. Recently I made a few times sourdough flatbread but it was hard to chew so I find the flatbread recipe on KZbin with yogurt and baking powder. Instead of baking powder I used baking soda. I like this recipe because it wasn't hard to chew. What do you think if I use sourdough starter instead of baking soda and I use yogurt will the flatbread be chewable? Thank you

[@lunadepana]

...maybe a pita flatbread, sourdough edition? 😊

Put a wet (paper or cloth) towel under your silicone matt to keep it from moving around while rolling out your dough

[@maryschutte8368]

Thank you for this recipe! It has become a family favorite, and a must-have on hand. Because I had difficulty rolling the dough thinly enough, I started dividing it into quarters and running it through our pasta maker. This rolled out perfectly thin! I bake them in slabs and break after baking for a rustic cracker. We prefer less rosemary and top with grated parmesan before baking.

[@OurGabledHome]

Yay! Mary, I am so glad you're liking this recipe! And great tip about using the pasta machine! Thank you so much for sharing 💛 ~ Anja

[@bridgetwilkins312]

Aww ... thank you!! And yes, these crackers would be great for company. Have fun making them and thank you so much for your sweet comment 💛 ~ Anja

[@ellenmaher5451]

Love this recipe. The only change I made was to use basil, thyme and cracked pepper, instead of rosemary. Our rosemary is just getting started. Thank you so much they are delicious.

[@OurGabledHome]

Sounds great!

I did it !!!! So good !!!!!! Thank you

Great 👏!!!

[@jared.freedom.gym2021]

Hello. I put the dough into the refrigerator for a couple hours. It was very firm when I got it out, which made it pretty challenging to roll it out. I just used salt to make a more neutral tasting cracker. I am making a second batch and added a tablespoon of water, going to try it setting out for 1-2 hours at room temperature before rolling out. I'm also going to try and make the shape of it more uniform as the edges burn and don't taste very good, so hoping to reduce the waste of each batch. But I'm with you on canola and all the other BS seed oils! Thanks for putting this video up.

[@OurGabledHome]

I am so glad you enjoyed this video! And just know that different flours can behave differently so feel free to add some water. Happy baking 😊 ~ Anja

[@jared.freedom.gym2021]

@@OurGabledHome Update - the crackers have gotten pretty good, happy with them, and my son actually likes them. I started adding a tablespoon of maple syrup, which doesn't make them too sweet, as well as a light dusting of pink Himalayan salt before baking. I'm considering making a graham cracker variation of these in the near future. Fun stuff and quite easy to make.

[@Yaorii]

Just made these! Yummy, just need to make them thinner next time 😆! Been wanting to try a cracker recipe and this was perfect--quick and easy recipe that uses starter, too! Thanks so much, Anja!

I've got to try these. Most that I keep trying are just to hard. They taste so good, but for older folks, a bit hard on the teeth. I've also been wondering if I could add flour to the recipe for crackers. You just answered that question. Thank you so much for sharing.

Got some crackers in the oven now. Don't think they were all quite thin enough. Left out the rosemary for this first time. I think I'd love it, not sure about hubby. Added salt to the top of the second pan. Pretty good though. Question,, if baking powder was added, would that help to lighten the crackers ( puff it up a little more while staying crispy) or not? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@OurGabledHome]

Nice and yes, you can add baking powder or better baking soda to make them puffier ~ Anja

[@ssmith5127]

I've never made homemade crackers. What an awesome idea. Of course now I'm going to want one of those butter bells I said would make me eat all my butter. Lol

Thank you for sharing your recipe! I would like to know what is the reason you put the dough in the fridge. Thank you.

[@OurGabledHome]

So glad you like this recipe! Putting your dough in the fridge will slow down the fermentation and make the crackers less sour 😊 ~ Anja

[@septembercindy]

Love this thx 🙏

[@dottiburke40]

Hi I love your videos and you have a wonderful voice. After taking my starter out of the refrigerator the night before, do I need to add anything to it or do anything to it before using it in a recipe?

[@OurGabledHome]

Hi Dotti, when taking your SD starter out of the fridge the night before, add some water to it and leave it on the counter. It should be ready to go the next morning. Thank you so much for your sweet comment 💛 ~ Anja

[@gcdjmkf]

I was wondering is there a way to make a sourdough bread a little less sour I tried ti make a sourdough bread but I find it too sour thanks

[@OurGabledHome]

You can decrease the sourness in various ways: using less starter, shortening the rise time, and adding a bit more salt. Hope this helps 😊 ~ Anja

[@crazychickenladyhomestead6918]

How much of the dough did you use for the one sheet? I made the crackers but they are too thick so, I'm thinking half. A third would probably make sense too. Delicious but way too thick.

[@OurGabledHome]

The key to these crackers is to roll them very thin. You can always make more than one sheet and keep them in an airtight container 👍 ~ Anja

[@crazychickenladyhomestead6918]

@@OurGabledHome thank you! The thin ones are the best!

[@sockenfraualfred6324]

Hello from Germany. I tried several recipes for sourdough crackers and they came out more or less good. My favorite taste is honey and salt, but I can not get the right amount or way to how I will get the with the great caramellized taste of honey but without beeing sticky. 😢 If anybody has an idea for this I would love to read it in a comment! 😊

[@OurGabledHome]

I haven’t tried making them with honey so have no experience. Have you tried brownnsugar or molasses?

[@eddieagha5851]

Hi Anja! When you say inflammatory oil, do you mean it burns easily?

[@OurGabledHome]

By inflammatory oil, I mean that it promotes inflammation in the human body. You want more omega 3 EFAs to counter the omega 6s which canola is very high in. Hope this helps 😊 ~ Anja

[@eddieagha5851]

@@OurGabledHome thanks

[@rld1278]

Animal fats are the least inflammatory fats around. I think olive oil is ok too.

[@jimandkathynaklick1804]

I have made several batches of sourdough crackers but while tasting great thet always come out very dense and hard to chew, what do I need to do to get them lighter?

[@OurGabledHome]

First off, I am glad to hear that you like the taste of these SD crackers. To get them lighter, make sure to use good, active SD starter and maybe let them rise a bit longer (and at warmer temperatures). If nothing helps, you can always add a tiny pinch of yeast. Hope this helps 😊 ~ Anja

[@jimandkathynaklick1804]

@@OurGabledHome I usually make them with my discard. should I be using active starter instead? As far as adding a pinch of yeast, would you let them rise before or after rolling out the dough? I like your technique of cutting with a pastry wheel rather than a knife....looks professional!

[@OurGabledHome]

@@jimandkathynaklick1804 Yes, I would try using active starter. I let my crackers rise both before and after rolling out 😊 ~ Anja

[@DebCnbfre]

Would melted butter work for the oil replacement? I learn so much from your channel. 🧈😋

[@OurGabledHome]

While we really enjoy the taste of olive oil, you can use many other oils here. Even though I haven’t tried it myself, I am sure you could use butter, lard, or tallow as well.😊 ~ Anja

These sound delicious. I love rosemary. Going to try these tomorrow. Thank you for sharing and for your time.

[@OurGabledHome]

Oh, great! It makes me happy to hear that you like these crackers! Happy baking 💛 ~ Anja

[@ssmith5127]

The rosemary is my favorite part. It means my husband won't eat them and I'll have lots to myself. 😊 Of course I'd need to make a batch for him. He'd probably love a batch with dill and a nice spreadable cheese with garlic.

[@agoodwifeofficial]

I'm so happy to see you recreating this cracker recipe, I love crackers but I don't eat a lot of different ingredients like canola oil so I will be trying this out very soon! Thank you

[@leighway1122]

This looks great! I'm really enjoying your channel and recipes. About to make the sourdough no-knead bread and I cannot thank you enough for the information you gave on adding extra flour to your starter...I'm doing that regularly and my starter is flourishing. One small suggestion on that mat rolling around on your counter....wet a paper napkin, open all the way and place under the mat between it and the counter. No more slipping.

[@OurGabledHome]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment! And great tip about the wet paper napkin 👍💛 ~ Anja

Should the discard or starter be fed and bubbly when I add it? Or can I add inactive discard?

You can actually use either one for this recipe ~ Anja

[@judypeterson9952]

What should i do different with einkorn sourdough and using einkorn flour?

[@OurGabledHome]

Einkorn absorbs water differently but won’t matter so much for crackers

[@Rachel-gz4ut]

Can i let it proof for 12 hours? Its hard for me to digest non fermented gluten

[@OurGabledHome]

Yes, you can

Hi, may I ask what kind of flour you use in this recipe? Thank you.

I used regular AP flour but I am sure you can use whatever flour you have 👍 ~ Anja

[@bridgetwilkins312]

I've made these twice already and they are perfect! Thank you. Tonight I plan to make more, but I will add some cheese powder to the dough. I think I will use butter in place of the olive oil too to go with the cheese. Oh, I can't wait! I think they will be a healthy cheese cracker!
