Preheat the oven to 325°F, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix together all of the ingredients except for the salt.
1 cup unfed sourdough discard, ¾ cup sharp cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning
Pour the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and spread as thin as possible (without being see-through).
Bake for 15 minutes then use a cookie cutter or a pizza cutter to cut crackers into desired size and shape.
Sprinkle the top with flaky salt, then return to the oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until slightly golden and crisp.
When cool enough to handle, break apart the crackers. Add flaky salt and extra ranch seasoning if desired.

Notes
The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 5 crackers. Actual calories will vary.
We used a packet of ranch dressing mix/ranch dip and took 2 teaspoons from it. This seasoning has a tendency to be salty for some, so adjust as needed.
We've heard from some readers that the dough is too sticky. It should be sticky! This dough should be sticky and spreadable using a fork, knife, or the back of a spoon. You can always add a tiny bit more flour if needed, but that may change the consistency.
