    Definitely need to play around with seasoning balance but love this recipe and so stoked to have something simple for using discard.

    These crackers are great! Crisp, they stayed fresh for a couple of weeks in an airtight container. I've made them with butter and olive oil (good) as well as with bacon fat (sounds good, tasted meh). I've used a Turkish oregano spice blend and smoked salt; ras el hanout; paprika. All good. I find cutting them smallish, between 1-2", works well. Now that my sourdough is flourishing, I look forward to making more with different toppings.

    These are great and super easy - I love that they just use discard and don't need any additional flour. The onion in my everything but the bagel seasoning burned so I don't think I'll be using it again, but I made a turmeric and black pepper version which were delicious!

    I make these regularly with olive oil. I love to add everything bagel seasoning. Another option is the smoked paprika. These are addictive. 5 stars.

    Great! This was the first discard cracker recipe I’ve used that didn’t call for any additional flour. They almost have a cheesy taste to me, though there is no cheese used. I went with with turmeric for a pretty yellow color + everything bagel seasoning. Baked for about 35-38 minutes, rotating halfway through. Next round I will ensure to spread out my middle just a little thinner. Most of my crackers are perfect, but I think the very middle ones are just a tiny bit thicker than I would prefer. Will repeat!
