So, I will tell you several options how you can cook crackers at home. In fact, there are a huge number of these options, you just need to experiment yourself, and then you will have your own recipe for crackers.
How to make crackers.
For the preparation of crackers, you can take both dry, remaining bread, and specially buy bread for this purpose.
Black or white bread also depends on your taste , this generally does not really matter, because they are prepared the same way.
We take bread, cut it into cubes, we can cut it into long slices, as we sell in packs, sprinkle them with spices, grated garlic, salt, sprinkle with a small amount of sunflower (olive oil) and put in the microwave on the grill for twenty minutes. If you prefer an oven, you can put it in the oven and make sure that they do not burn, sometimes stirring and turning them over. When your crackers dry and brown, they can be removed and made crackers at home are ready to eat.
If you like crackers with various additives, then you can sprinkle with grated cheese before putting them in the oven, then you will get crackers with cheese, rather than crackers with the taste of cheese, as is usually written on packs with factory crackers.
If you want them not to be very dried out, you just need to wait until the crackers are browned on top and remove them. Then they will be crispy on top, and soft inside.
You can also make sweet crackers. Surely, everyone remembers the taste from childhood of rusks with raisins. It was very tasty. And now you can find crackers, packed in the factory. But, if you have buns at home that no one wants to eat for the third day, then the right way out is to make them crackers at home. This does not require any special skills, just cut bread, rolls, any other muffin that has settled in your home, slices and place on a baking sheet. Then put in the oven, and trace when a pink-brown crust appears on them. You can get it. At the same time, the whole apartment is filled with rich aromas and buns, which lay untouched by anyone, are swept away by one or two.
Rusks can also be used to cook some dishes, for example, they are added to soups, some salads, hot salads. But best of all, salted crackers "go" for beer. In our culture, this habit of drinking beer with crackers is already very firmly rooted. And, if you really want to drink beer with crackers at home near the TV, it is better to make them yourself, and enjoy all this while sitting at home.
