How to make garlic croutons

Yes, there is nothing easier. A minimum of ingredients and a simple cooking technology will appeal to any housewife. Even the head of the family will not deny himself the pleasure of treating himself to such a dish on his legal weekend. Everyone will like homemade garlic crackers.

To prepare them you will need:

  • a third of a teaspoon of table salt;

  • half a loaf of brown bread ;

  • one and a half tablespoons of sunflower or any other vegetable oil (if you want to give the finished dish an exceptional aroma and benefit, then use olive oil);

  • 3 cloves of fresh garlic (do not worry, this is quite a bit, there will not be too sharp taste).

We will cook in the oven, preheated to 190 degrees. Bread should be cut into slices, the thickness of which will not exceed one centimeter. Garlic crackers should not be too thin or narrow. Otherwise, when dried, they simply become too callous, which will ruin the impression of the dish. Each bread slice is cut into 4 parts.

Grind the cloves of garlic on a fine grater. We shift it into a small deep bowl in which it will be convenient to combine products. Add salt and oil, then mix thoroughly so that the mass in the end turns out to be as homogeneous as possible. The resulting mixture must be poured directly onto the baking sheet. In it, carefully roll the bread slices so that they are properly saturated and then do not burn.

Put the pan in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. This is the average cooking time, it may vary depending on the freshness of the bread. Constantly check the readiness of the future goodies. Croutons with garlic should be browned and crispy, but not overcooked. As soon as the set time has passed, gently and quickly turn all the pieces on the other side and put them back in the oven for another couple of minutes. Everything is ready! You can safely get the dish and enjoy its unique taste. And what a flavor ... Nobody can resist.

Garlic crackers can be eaten both hot and chilled. For fans of spicy there is a special addition. A special sauce is ideal for an appetizer. It is also prepared quickly and with minimal cost of products. Just mix to taste in any proportions mayonnaise, chopped garlic, red and black ground pepper and low-fat cream. The last ingredient will make the sauce more fluid and easy to use, as well as soften the pungency.
