   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                cup  White Whole Wheat Flour -- or King Arthur 
Premium Whole Wheat Flour or
      1/2      teaspoon  sea salt
   1                cup  sourdough starter -- or unfed "discarded"
      1/4           cup  unsalted butter -- or 4 Tbs room temperature
   2        tablespoons  dried herbs -- of your choice, optional
                         oil -- for brushing
                         coarse salt -- (such as kosher or sea salt) 
for sprinkling on top

Here's the perfect solution to your discarded sourdough dilemma. The 
rosemary, while optional, complements the tang of the sourdough perfectly.

PREP: 25 mins. to 38 mins.
BAKE: 20 mins. to 23 mins.
TOTAL: 1 hrs 25 mins. to 1 hrs 31 mins.

Mix together the flour, salt, sourdough starter, butter, and optional 
herbs to make a smooth(not sticky), cohesive dough.

Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a small 
rectangular slab. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 
minutes, or up to a couple of hours, until the dough is firm.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Very lightly flour a piece of parchment, your rolling pin, and the 
top of the dough.

Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough to about 1/16" 
thick. The dough will have ragged, uneven edges; that's OK. Just try 
to make it as even as possible.

Transfer the dough and parchment together onto a baking sheet. 
Lightly brush with oil and then sprinkle the salt over the top of the crackers.

Cut the dough into 1 1/4" squares; a rolling pizza wheel works well here.

Prick each square with the tines of a fork.

Bake the crackers for about 20 minutes, until the squares are 
starting to brown around the edges.

When fully browned, remove the crackers from the oven, and transfer 
them to a cooling rack. Store airtight at room temperature for up to 
a week; freeze for longer storage.

Yield: about 100 crackers, 20 servings.
