How to make sourdough graham crackers

Step 1: Make the batter

In a mixing bowl, use a spatula to blend the butter and brown sugar until it reaches a creamy consistency. Incorporate the honey and sourdough discard, stirring until a smooth mixture is achieved.

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt using a whisk. Transfer the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and stir thoroughly with a spatula until combined.

If needed, use your hands to bring the dough together, but avoid the temptation to add additional liquid to the mixture.

Place a cover over the bowl and move it to the refrigerator to allow it to chill for one hour.

NOTE: If you desire a more extended fermentation process, you can keep the dough refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Step 2: Roll out and cut the dough

Once you are ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F ( 176°C).

Begin by dividing the dough in half. Take one portion and position it between two sheets of parchment paper, then roll it out to a thickness of ⅛".

Peel off the top piece of parchment paper, and transfer the bottom piece, along with the rolled dough, onto a baking sheet.

Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into 2" squares or rectangles, discarding any uneven edges but setting them aside to re-roll with other leftover dough. Use a fork to puncture holes in the dough.

Next, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes, allowing the dough to firm up.

Repeat with the remaining dough and store the sheets stacked in the fridge until ready to bake them.

Step 3: Bake

Bake the crackers for 15-17 minutes or until they turn a golden brown hue. Once ready, take the baking sheet out of the oven and allow the cookies to rest on it for 10 minutes.

Afterward, transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

How to make indoor s'mores

These homemade sourdough graham crackers have a slight chewiness that makes them an ideal choice for holding marshmallows and chocolate, creating a delicious s'mores treat.

The best part is that the s'mores are oven-baked, allowing you to enjoy them throughout the year. Let me show you just how quick and effortless they are to make!

Position the oven rack on the top level and activate the broiler function in your oven.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out a single layer of graham crackers on it. On each graham cracker, place a piece of chocolate and a marshmallow.
Slide the baking sheet under the broiler for just 30 seconds, making sure to remove it promptly to prevent the marshmallows from burning.
Take another sourdough graham cracker and press it on top of each assembled s'more.

Serve these easy treats while the chocolate and marshmallows are still melted and gooey!
