What am I to do with all of the discarded sourdough starter? I know the question has probably run through your mind because as a shepherd to this living creature, it kinda feels awful to simply throw it into the bin (even if it is a compost bin).
This is my go-to. It is super simple, and really only a set of guidelines. Sometimes I roll it super thin, other times I keep it kinda thick. Sometimes I will add some fresh herbs in when I am kneading the dough, or sprinkle the top with some parmesan cheese. No matter what, there is always a sprinkling of some nice quality salt on the top.
Sometimes I might cut it into pieces before baking, other times I keep it whole. I love gifting huge crackers and watching their reactions as I hand them a giant cracker the size of a baking sheet.
This is your invitation to play.

More of guidelines than a recipe set in stone - which is why I love it.
