Garlic croutons with garlic

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make crackers with garlic? Prepare your ingredients. You can take any bread - wheat, rye or rye-wheat (known in our country as Darnitsky). I took three types at once to compare which of the three types of crackers would turn out tastier. You can use refined, odorless sunflower oil, but I prefer virgin oil - it is more aromatic. Or replace it with olive oil.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the garlic and pass through a press.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a bowl, combine sunflower oil, garlic, dried dill, basil and Italian herbs, salt and pepper. I didn't have a ready-made mixture of Italian herbs, so I replaced them with a pinch of dried rosemary and a pinch of thyme.

4. STEP 4

   

   Mix everything thoroughly.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut Darnitsky bread into oblong bars.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wheat bread - medium cubes or the same blocks.

7. STEP 7

   

   Also cut the rye bread into cubes. It is advisable to take the bread that is not entirely fresh, at least yesterday’s bread. In this case, it will not crumble much when cutting and mixing with oil.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place white bread in a bowl, pour over some of the aromatic vegetable oil and mix gently. The aromatic oil should soak the bread on all sides.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place Darnitsky bread in the same bowl and add another portion of sunflower oil with spices and garlic and stir.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place both types of crackers on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the rye crackers in a bowl, pour over the remaining oil and mix too.

12. STEP 12

    

    I didn’t have enough space on a large baking sheet for rye crackers, so I dried them on a separate baking sheet.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place the baking sheets with crackers in an oven preheated to 180°C for 15-20 minutes. It is advisable not to move far from the oven, as the crackers can quickly burn on the bottom. If the oven allows, cook on the “Top-Bottom Convection” mode. This will allow the crackers to dry and crust evenly.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place the finished crackers in a bowl and serve. After tasting, the croutons made from rye custard bread seemed the most delicious. Bon appetit!

I prepared crackers according to this recipe. I made it exclusively from Darnitsky (rye-wheat) bread. From the spices I added ground black pepper, some Italian herbs, garlic, and salt. I usually prepare crackers by cutting them into cubes. But this time I decided to do it like the author did, I cut it into cubes the same way. I never make crackers from fresh bread, as Maria advises. But it seems to me that yesterday’s bread for croutons is also not the best option; I prefer to make them from more “stale” bread. When I got to step 9, when the bread needs to be mixed with aromatic vegetable oil, I realized that there was too much oil. I added it gradually, in portions, so I didn’t pour it in completely. As a result, I added 120 ml per 500 grams of bread. oils It took 25 minutes to cook in my oven. The end result was delicious, aromatic, garlicky croutons. But I think you could add even less oil, 100 ml. It would be enough, but that's for my taste.

Excellent crackers! Indeed, you can’t tear yourself away from them. The hand reaches out to take more. As soon as I cut the crusts off the bread, they are already dark, but when baked they will be completely black. And also, to reduce calories, I don’t let the crackers lie in the oil, I quickly dip them in the oil with spices and immediately take them out, they have time to absorb a sufficient amount of aromatic oil. Yummy
