Calories:
Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil or melted butter
Optional Toppings
- Herbs rosemary, thyme, parsley
- Additional cheese
- Sesame seeds
- Everything bagel seasoning
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix sourdough discard, flour, shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
- Add olive oil or melted butter and stir until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms. If it feels too sticky, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Lightly flour the surface and roll the dough to your desired thickness—thin for crispier edges, thicker for a softer bite.
- Cut into strips or shapes and arrange on the baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
- Sprinkle with herbs, extra cheese, or seasonings, then brush lightly with melted butter for better color.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, rotating halfway through, until golden brown with lightly bubbling cheese.
- Let cool briefly on a rack so the edges crisp up while the center stays soft.
