Transform your sourdough discard into incredibly crunchy, buttery cinnamon sugar crisps. A perfect way to use up discard and create a delicious snack with minimal ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard, unfed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, melted butter, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and the pinch of salt. Mix with a spatula until a smooth dough forms.
  3. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out very thinly, aiming for about 1/16-inch thickness (roughly the thickness of a credit card). The thinner you roll it, the crispier it will be.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the topping ingredients: 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  5. Remove the top layer of parchment paper. Lightly brush the surface of the dough with a little water or melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar topping.
  6. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the flattened dough into your desired shapes, such as squares or rectangles.
  7. Transfer the parchment paper with the cut dough onto the baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-18 minutes (start checking at 12 minutes), or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are firm and crisp.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool completely on the baking sheet, about 10 minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Notes

  • The key to crispy crisps is rolling the dough very thinly. Thick spots will remain chewy rather than crunchy.
  • Do not skip the cooling step, as the crisps finalize their texture as they cool down.
  • If you notice some edges browning too quickly, you can remove those pieces from the baking sheet and let the rest continue to bake.
  • Properly baked crisps should snap cleanly when broken. If they bend, they need more baking time.
