Did you know that you can ferment a sourdough starter using a low-carb flour? I have been feeding my starter for 3 months now and it's going strong. I use the discard from the feedings to make this delicious cracker recipe. I've yet to make a keto sourdough bread that I'm 100% happy with, but I'll get there. In the meantime, this new cracker recipe is my favourite keto cracker I've made so far, crispy and tasty for all your snacking needs, along with the healthy gut bugs that come from the fermentation.
