   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                cup  100% Whole Wheat Flour -- or White Whole 
Wheat Flour, (113g)
      1/2      teaspoon  sea salt
   1                cup  sourdough starter -- unfed/discard, (248g)
      1/4           cup  unsalted butter -- room temperature, (4 Tbsp, 57g)
   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. We're addicted to these crackers, dipped into some healthy hummus.

PREP: 25 mins
BAKE: 20 to 25 mins
TOTAL: 1:25
YIELD: 20 servings
SERVING SIZE: 5 crackers, 22g

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 350F.

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 20 to 25 minutes, until the squares are 
starting to brown around the edges. Midway through, reverse the 
baking sheets: both top to bottom, and front to back; this will help 
the crackers brown evenly.

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.

Tips: Don't have any starter? Here's a recipe for homemade sourdough 
starter. If you're making it from scratch, you'll need to feed it for 
5 to 7 days before it's ready for baking. Want a head start? Purchase 
our classic fresh sourdough starter - it'll be ready for baking about 
24 hours after it arrives at your door. Looking for tips, techniques,
