How to dry bread. How to cook crackers with garlic in the oven

In the food industry, crackers are rolls, white or rye bread, cut into even pieces and dried in special ovens. This method increases the shelf life of bakery products, allowing you to avoid financial losses in the process of selling products.

Note: Due to their long shelf life, dried slices are traditionally included in the diet of military personnel.

What kind of bread is used to make crackers?

All crackers that exist today are divided into two categories: simple and rich. Simple crackers are made from any type of bread. In recent years, many varieties of rye bread beer have appeared on sale. There is a small assortment of beer snacks made from white bread. Crackers for soups and salads are usually made from large-pored varieties of bread.

Butter crackers are prepared from sweet buns, Easter cakes and other baked goods. For about 15 years, stores have been selling miniature dried blocks of white bread. This product is great for an afternoon snack.

Why is bread dried?

It would seem, why turn such wonderful fresh and soft bread or buns into hard crackers. For a long time, there was an opinion among people that only old stale bread should be dried. However, in our time, a lot of recipes have appeared that use crackers made from fresh baked goods.

If you decide to try making them yourself, then knowledge of cooking will come in handy in the following cases:

• if there is a lot of bread or rolls in the house that are at risk of spoiling;
• when you need dried cubes of wheat bread to supplement broth or soup;
• as an ingredient for salad;
• when you urgently need a good snack to go with your beer. Rye croutons with garlic or tomato filling are ideal;
• if you want something simple and quick for tea, for example, sweet vanilla crackers;
• we have run out of breadcrumbs, which are easy to make from regular white bread;
• I want to add an unusual addition to banal dishes, for example, crumbs fried in oil with spices and garlic, you can sprinkle on pasta, boiled potatoes or stewed vegetables.
• We are planning to make homemade kvass, which means we need to dry strips of rye bread.

Important: Dried bread is much healthier than fresh baked goods. Rusks help many people with intestinal disorders, because they have a strengthening effect.

Variety of forms

When cooking, you can give your products any shape you want. The most common options are:

• Sweet crackers, as a rule, repeat the shape of the baked goods from which they were made. These can be oval or round large pieces.
• Medium-sized cubes are used for soups.
• Rectangular croutons can be used in salads and beer.
• Dried long crackers (7-10 cm) are also very suitable for beer gatherings.
• Oval-shaped crackers cut from white bread sticks.
• The products can also be given a triangular shape.

Features of preparing crackers in the microwave

Delicious crackers can also be prepared in the microwave. But without certain skills and knowledge, you risk getting “pebbles” from bread or rancid coals. Use the following tips to ensure that your croutons have an unsurpassed taste:

• Try to cut equal pieces, otherwise they will lose moisture unevenly.
• Don't be alarmed if your crackers are darker in color than on the outside. In the microwave during cooking, they lose moisture first from the inside, and then around the edges. Take this into account when checking the degree of readiness.
• In a microwave oven, crackers are prepared in stages and at maximum power, turning the oven on and off and turning the slices over.
• While you have not yet mastered cooking crackers in the microwave, carefully observe the process without leaving the dish.
• Rusks can be greased with vegetable oil and sprinkled with seasonings.

Recommendations for making the most delicious homemade crackers

You can try different recipes for creating dried bread slices: sweet, salty, spicy, and sour. Do not forget to adjust the spiciness and saltiness, depending on the intended purpose. For example, you can add hotter crackers to the soup.

In order for each new experiment to end in success, you need to remember a few general rules:

• It is very difficult to determine the exact cooking time for crackers, because it all depends on the thickness and porosity of the bread. While cooking, periodically look at the crackers so that they do not burn.
• This is a product with which even a “stale” bun can be transformed into a delicious snack. But, of course, it should not be moldy or rancid.
• If you cut the bread into relatively large pieces, take the time to stir them regularly during cooking so that all the slices are baked evenly.
• To ensure that the crackers are evenly and completely covered with seasonings and sauce, it is better not to sprinkle or pour it all on them one by one, but to mix all the ingredients with vegetable oil, and then stir in the bread pieces into the mixture.
• Before serving, croutons must be cooled to room temperature so that their crispiness is at the highest level.

How and for how long should you store dried bread?

A few tips on how to store homemade crackers:

• This product is stored in a dark and cool place (from 0 to +15 degrees), in any container.
• If during storage you notice insects in a bag or box of crackers, it is better to throw everything away immediately.
• If you store crackers next to fresh bread, the shelf life of both products will be significantly reduced.
• The quality of crackers is best preserved when placed in fabric bags or paper rolls.
• Dried pieces of bread with the addition of raisins, caraway seeds, sugar, etc. cannot be preserved for a long time.
• If you did not dry the crackers, but fried them in a frying pan, then they will not be stored for long, because hot oil significantly reduces the shelf life of bread products.
• Butter crackers can be stored and eaten for 15 days.
• Crackers spoil faster in a bread box.
• Rusk crumbs at room temperature are suitable for use for a month, but if you place them in the freezer, the shelf life will increase significantly.

Crackers without additives can be stored for several months, and the maximum shelf life of crackers with any inclusions is 7 weeks.

Making homemade crackers is even easier than buying them in a store. Moreover, you will be 100% sure that the created crispy culinary masterpiece does not contain any harmful additives. Well, while I was describing all the recipes, I started thinking about the tastes of crackers so much that I went and cooked garlic crackers in a frying pan, like in this video:

Delicious crackers at home - cooking secrets

Cooks are happy to reveal some of their secrets to housewives so that they can surprise their households with a new dish.

For example, before making homemade crackers, it is important to familiarize yourself with some tips:

If the bread is too wet, keep the oven door open while drying. This will help excess moisture evaporate faster.

When adding herbs as a seasoning, don't get carried away because spices are meant to enhance the flavor of a dish, not overwhelm it.

It is worth noting that garlic does not combine with dried dill.

If you are making croutons that will become additional ingredients for a soup or salad, then think about the combination of spices that are in the croutons and in the prepared dish.

There are many options for vegetable oil for dressing, as long as you don't boil it.

Mustard, sesame, peanut or olive are suitable.

Use slices of bread seasoned with butter immediately, because after long-term storage, the polyunsaturated fats contained in the composition become harmful chemical compounds.

If you made the croutons yourself in the oven, but decided to store them for a long time and expect them to remain crispy and tasty, then after baking, place the pieces in a hermetically sealed glass jar.
