Ron's sourdough crackers - added some cheddar cheese

 

Ron's post about these crackers is as thorough as they come, so please get the recipe there if you are interested. I added 20% of cheddar cheese to the dough, turned out perfect, so much better than store bought. And easy to make too!

 

 

What a great way to use those "discard starters", I am sure I will make them often, with all kinds of flavors. Thanks Ron!

 Wonderful looking crackers, Txfarmer!!  Recently, I bought a pie cutter like you used to cut Ron's cracker dough.  Next time, I will try your way! ( adding some chedder cheese) My children will love them!

Thank you for posting your wonderful crackers,

Thanks! I think I will try sesame + sesame oil next time, maybe another batch with sundried tomatoes and garlic!

If you can find Toasted Sesame Oil, it is even better than the straight sesame oil.

I have tried many variations, and have yet to find one that I did not like. But your cheddar cheese is one I have not tried and certainly intend to. They look wonderful !

The cheddar cheese made them taste like (better than) cheeze it. :)

txfarmer, this week I made a double batch of sourdough cracker dough. I used your cheddar cheese addition and formed one batch as squares (crackers) and the second batch went into the form of 1/2" (12 mm) wide strips about 10 cm long (sticks).

Both batches taste like "more" LOL, but I have come to think that I like strips a bit better than the squares. Perhaps, the strips tend to bake more uniformly, but the preference is only a mild one. They all taste great.

I have a questions on your Chinese Pullman pan, but, I'll send a PM for that.

Now I have a perfect replacement for my Goldfish :)  I even found a little fish-shaped cookie cutter at a flea market.

Parmesan and cracked pepper, rosemary and thyme, ooooh the possibilities are endless when you have a good base to start with.

Cut in 12 mm wide strips, they make "bread sticks", as Akiko (teketeke) pointed out to me.

Thank you both for sharing such a great recipe! I actually used 18grs of salt instead of 1.8grs of salt (Oops) They still turned out fantastic, I topped them with sesame oil and seeds and the kids haven't stopped eating them. I can't wait to try them tomorrow with the correct amount of salt, the cheese gives them such a nice flavour.
