sourdough starter – Page 2

When you babysit a sourdough starter, there is inevitable discard to use up. I’ve used it for flatbreads, muffins, pancakes, griddle cakes, cake, coffee cake (I sense a theme). Today, I wanted to make something savory, so it was these easy-faux-cheezy crackers

Ingredients

1 cups Sourdough discard, fresh or from the fridge
¼ cup melted vegan butter
Herbs/seasoning (today I used fresh rosemary and dried oregano)
Nutritional yeast
Sea salt

Process

Preheat oven to 350* Mix all ingredients except salt. Place a parchment paper on a baking sheet or pan and spread the mix over the parchment, getting it nice and thin! Then sprinkle with sea salt.

Bake for 10 minutes. Optionally, at that point you can take it out and score the crackers if you want them to be pretty and square. Or you can just break them up later. Bake for another 30-40 minutes until your desired level of crispiness.

Allow to *fully* cool before you put them away so they don’t get soggy.

Yesterday was not a great day in the kitchen. First, I accidentally microwaved Lilith, my sourdough starter.

Then I somehow managed to get the percentages wrong in the focaccia dough that I was making and it came out veeeery wet.

And I spilled pretty much everything that I touched.

The focaccia didn’t rise as much as I expected and I forgot to oil the pans. But I carried on and finished adding the tomatoes, olives, and rosemary.

And I shoved it in the oven alongside the non-vegan version, where, of course, it took 1.5 times the time I had planned.

But weirdly, in the end, it was delicious.

And Lilith seems to have made it through (thank goodness for discard saving).

So, I am sure not going to give today an A, but if I graded it on a pass/fail basis, I guess it would pass.

Thank goodness for the unexpectedly delicious!
