Gluten Free Sourdough Cheesy Crackers
These crunchy crackers are one of the easiest (and tastiest) ways to use up extra sourdough starter. They taste just like old-school Cheddar Shapes — but made with simple, wholefood ingredients.
This recipe is also a little sneak peek of what’s coming in my Gluten-Free Sourdough Course, launching early next year. I cannot wait to share more — but for now, let’s dive into the recipe!
Gluten Free Sourdough Cheesy Crackers
Gluten free, dairy free option, egg free, nut free
Makes 1 large tray
Ingredients:
100g gluten-free sourdough starter (doesn’t need to be active — discard is perfect!)
60g brown rice flour
40g tapioca starch
2 tbsp finely grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp garlic powder or dried herbs (optional)
1 tbsp water (add more if needed)
Instructions:
Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix until a smooth dough forms.
If it feels too dry → add a tiny splash of water.
If it feels sticky → dust in a little extra brown rice flour.
Place the dough between two sheets of baking paper and roll it out as thin as you can.
The thinner the dough → the crispier the crackers.Use a knife or pizza cutter to score into small bite-sized squares.
Transfer to a lined baking tray and bake at 160°C for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Allow to cool completely, break into crackers then store in an airtight jar. They’ll stay crunchy for about a week (if they last that long!).
Variations:
Cheese-Free Option:
Replace parmesan with:½ tsp dried herbs
¼ tsp garlic powder
Flavour Ideas:
Rosemary + garlic
Smoked paprika
Everything bagel seasoning
Nutritional yeast for a cheesier dairy-free version
