Sourdough crackers

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (200-227g) sourdough starter (unfed/discard)
• 1/2 cup (56g) rye flour (optional, you can use any mix of flours)
• 1/2 cup (56g) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon (3g) kosher salt (or 1/2 teaspoon if you are sensitive to salt)
• 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, room temperature
• Olive oil, for brushing
• Flaky sea salt, sesame seeds, or everything bagel seasoning for sprinkling

Instructions:

• Mix the sourdough starter, flours, salt, and butter until a cohesive dough forms. It's okay if the dough is a little sticky.
• Divide the dough into two portions and shape each into a rectangle. Wrap them in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container. Chill for 30 minutes or longer until the dough is firm.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F.
• Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper, a rolling pin, and the top of one portion of dough.
• Place the dough onto the floured parchment paper and roll it out as thinly and evenly as possible. It's okay if the edges are ragged.
• Transfer the dough-topped parchment paper onto a baking sheet. Lightly brush with olive oil and sprinkle your desired toppings over the dough.
• Cut the dough into your desired cracker shape and size. You can use a pizza wheel or a bench scraper for this step.
• Bake the crackers for 20-25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. They are done when they are starting to brown around the edges.
• Remove the crackers from the oven and place the pan on a rack to cool completely.
• Repeat the process with the remaining portion of dough, or store it in the fridge or freezer for later use.
• Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.

These sourdough crackers are simple to make and can be customised with various herbs, spices, and toppings. They provide a crispy and tangy base to enjoy with Laughing Cow cheese.

Rice cakes

For those who enjoy the flavour of everything bagels, rice cakes can be topped with The Laughing Cow's Everything Bagel Style cheese spread and "everything but the bagel seasoning." This creation tastes almost like a bagel. Some people also like to add cucumber, tomato, or frozen raspberries to this combination.
