Solar recipe: sourdough and seed crackers

If you’re a fan of homemade bread and self-sufficiency, then sourdough is no stranger to you. To keep it alive on a daily basis, you feed it flour and water, and discard any excess fermented dough. Unfortunately, “discarded sourdough” is all too often thrown away, even though it can be transformed or incorporated into delicious recipes. Simply salted and mixed with seeds and herbs, it bakes into delicious crackers. To be self-sufficient right to the end, cook them in a solar oven…
