Sourdough discard Pizza cheese-it crackers

my take on homemade cheeze-its
Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 16 oz mozzarella finely grated
  • 1 bag sun dried tomatoes about 3 oz
  • 8 TBS 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 TBS Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Finely grate the mozzarella using a block or rotary grater
  • Using a blender of food processor finely blend the tomatos.
  • Add the cheese, softened butter, and sourdough discard to a food processor and pulse a few times to blend completely then add the tomato blend (or if you are like me, mix it in a bowl or with a hand mixer)
  • Mix the dry ingredients in a separate small bowl. Flour, baking powder, herbs and spices,
  • Add dry ingredients and cheese mixture together until completely combined and a dough ball forms.
  • Roll the dough into a ball and then flatten into a disc between two sheets of parchment paper.
  • Let the dough rest for about 3o minutes and up to 24 hours in the fridge
  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC)
  • Roll the dough in between two pieces of parchment paper into a large thin sheet, about 1/16" thick, if you like them a little thicker 1/6" is good
  • Use a pizza cutter or pastry wheel to cut out 1" squares. Make a whole in the center with a small hole with the wooden dowel or I like to use a small metal straw.
  • Separate the crackers, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake one sheet at a time for 17-20 minutes or until the crackers are turning dark orange and crispy. Thinner crackers will bake faster and thicker crackers will need longer (watch them closely at the end)
  • Cool on the piece of parchment or a wire cooling rack and bake the rest.
  • Enjoy!
