Sourdough Cheese Crackers

A crunchy, flavorful cracker made with real cheddar cheese and sourdough discard. I like to use all kinds of cheese like Gruyère, Comté or English Cheddar.

Ingredient	Amount
Sourdough Starter (Active or Discard)	230g (1 cup)
All-purpose Flour	120g (1 cup)
Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)	225g (8 oz)
Melted Butter or Oil	3 tbsp
Salt	½ tsp
Paprika	½ tsp
Garlic Powder	½ tsp
Cayenne Pepper	¼ tsp

Instructions

Mix: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead: Transfer to a work surface and knead for a few minutes until you have a cohesive dough ball.
Roll: Divide the dough into two equal pieces. Roll each piece between two sheets of parchment paper to a thickness of about 1.5mm (1/16 inch).
Shape: Remove the top parchment and cut into squares using a pizza cutter. Prick each cracker with a fork and sprinkle with extra salt if desired.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Bake for 30–40 minutes until the crackers are crispy and lightly golden.

Cut in squares and pierce them in the middle. Docking prevents steam from building up as the cracker bakes. Sometimes I add some salt flakes before baking the crackers.

I am treating mundane life like a high-stakes corporate turnaround project, and learning that simply sitting down to relax is a routine my system completely rejects.

Rhubarb Rolls

A seasonal twist on our signature high-protein sourdough cinnamon roll base. We trade the heavy brown sugar and cinnamon filling for a sharp, vibrant fresh rhubarb compote. Made with a Greek yogurt and active sourdough dough for a better protein structure

Zero Target

It is a deeply human instinct to try and pinpoint exactly where things end or begin. For me, the boundary line was turning 40. I am 43 today, and the landscape of my life is unrecognizable. I lost my job. For nearly two decades, my identity was entirely wrapped up
