Notes
I usually quadruple this recipe to a) use up my sourdough discard and b) because we eat many of these crackers in a week. They've become like our new "chip" snack.
Judge the consistency of your mix when all the ingredients are combined. If it is too thick to spread a thin layer out on a baking sheet, add a bit of water. If it's too loopy to hold when spread onto a baking sheet, add more sourdough discard or a bit of flower to bulk it up slightly.
