Seasoning and Cheese Options

These crackers are very versatile so I encourage you to try making them with a variety of seasonings and cheeses!

I used mild cheddar and Parmesan because that is what I had on hand at the time. Some other interesting cheese combinations could be Dubliner or Manchego or even a blue cheese!

These are very good with red pepper flakes and sea salt. Next time, I might try Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Seasoning because it is delicious on everything! Also, a mesquite barbecue seasoning could be interesting as well.

Some flavoring ideas:

  • Parmesan + cheddar + Everything but the Bagel Seasoning
  • Blue cheese + sea salt + pepper
  • Dubliner cheese + red pepper flakes

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • Rolling Pin
  • parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 125 g sourdough starter discarded (unfed) starter works well
  • 230 g semolina flour (I use Bob's Red Mill Semolina Pasta Flour)
  • 42 g cheddar cheese, chopped or grated (I used Tillamook Medium Cheddar)
  • 100 g water
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 tsp sea salt, plus more for seasoning the top of the crackers
  • 1/4-1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese based on your taste preferences
  • olive oil to drizzle on top
  • Optional seasonings: black pepper, red pepper flakes, herbs such as rosemary or chives

Instructions

  • Mix all of the ingredients except the olive oil and the extra sea salt for seasoning the tops of the crackers in a bowl. Mix and knead with your hands to combine. The dough will be chunky.
  • Cover and let the dough sit at room temperature in a cool place for about 4 hours or in the refrigerator overnight for up to 3 days.
  • Once ready to bake, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Take the dough out of the bowl and transfer to a clean surface or parchment paper. Flatten out your dough to about 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Cut with a knife (or cookie cutter) into the desired shape (my crackers were about 1/2 inch squares).
  • Transfer the crackers onto parchment paper on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the tops and sprinkle with sea salt (and pepper if desired).
  • Then, bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Allow the crackers to cool slightly (so you don't burn yourself), then enjoy!
