My kids love crackers. And I just could never find any with healthy oils and soaked grains. Previously, I made crackers in the past (think tried once YEARS AGO!). But they were not well received. Well, I love my sourdough started and stumbled across this recipe online. It is AMAZING! Like a really delicious wheat thin. Well, much better actually. So I am sharing this recipe with you all! Thank you, Jessica Prentice, for this great recipe! 1 cup Sourdough, fed with whole grain flour, such as wheat, spelt or kamut flour 1/4 cup Lard rendered from local, free range pork fat, or coconut oil (I used the coconut oil) 1/4 cup Sprouted spelt flour or unbleached white flour, or as much as you need to make a stiff dough + extra for rolling (I just used regular spelt and a little white. Mine did take quite a bit more flour than this but it was damp here yesterday) 1/2 tsp Sea salt 1/4 tsp Baking soda Olive oil for brushing Coarse salt (such as kosher salt) for sprinkling on top (I just brushed with more coconut oil and used more pink salt) In a large bowl, combine sourdough and the lard and mix thoroughly. (I melted my coconut oil before mixing). Mix the salt and baking soda in with the 1/4 cup flour and add to the sourdough mixture. Knead it all together in the bowl, adding as much flour as necessary to make a stiff dough. All the dough to rest for about 10 minutes. Preheat the oven tho 350 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Take a small portion of the dough (about 1/4 cup) and roll it out on a floured board using a rolling pin, adding flour if it's too sticky, until it is very thin. (I just rolled my 1/4 of the dough out onto a greased silpat mat and cut with a pizza cutter. I like my crackers thin, and I didn't want to have to move them!) Cut into cracker shapes using a dough cutter or a sharp knife. Transert he crackers to the sheet pan adn bursh with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with another 1/4 cup of dough until the sheet pan in filled with crackers. Bake crackers in batches as necessary for 15-20 minutes or until just golden brown. Copy right Jessica Prentice 2005 If you want healthy crackers, please try this recipe! It was easy and delicious. I am already planning all sorts of variations. If you can make cut-out cookies, you can make these crackers. They really are good!
