Mix the ingredients
Using a dough whisk, mix the flour and salt together before adding the butter. Once the butter has been fully mixed in, it will look like a sandy mixture. Then, add the sourdough starter and mix it until all the ingredients come together. You should be able to form the dough into a ball.
Divide the dough
Next, divide the dough into two and form each piece into a rectangular shape. Cover with plastic wrap before putting the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to a couple of hours. This is to help firm up the dough to make it easier to roll out later on.
Shaping
Preheat the oven to 180°C for 20 minutes. Place the dough in the middle of the two parchment or baking sheet before rolling out the dough into the thinnest layer possible (1-2mm) without it breaking apart. Transfer the dough with the parchment onto a baking pan. Cut out the crackers to the desired shape with either a pizza cutter of a sharp knife. Use a fork to prick some holes in the middle of the crackers so that the steam can escape. If you like them puffing up like pitas, skip this step.
Baking
Bake the crackers at 180°C for 10-15 minutes, or until it has browned lightly and dried out fully. Remove the crackers from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Once it has completely cooled down, enjoy!
