Flower-Inlaid Sourdough Crackers Without Catterpillar

• 200g active leaven or discard
• 100g flour
• 35g olive oil
• 4g fine sea salt
• Edible flowers, sesame & nigella seed mix

Mix everything except the flowers into a smooth, firm dough. Rest for 30 minutes.
Roll between two sheets of baking parchment until extremely thin, about 1–2mm.

Remove the top sheet, arrange the flowers and replace the parchment and roll lightly so they become embedded.

Remove the top paper again and cut into crackers.

Bake at 170°C fan for 6 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through. 🌸🐛

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but what about one in the bakery?

Imagine the aroma of freshly baked sourdough, its crisp golden crust and airy crumb. Or the bubbling pizzas fresh from your wood fired oven.  Or the rich rewards of baking with heritage grains. 

Or think of the insanely gorgeous gluten-free bread, sourdough and pizza you thought only professionals could make.

Now think again. Our online baking courses teach you how to create all these things right at home in your own kitchen, using clear, reliable methods you can return to again and again.

Expert bakers Penny and Dragan have decades of experience and have taught thousands of people around the world  to bake with confidence. Why not let us help you?
