Any housewife at least once thought about making crackers, which can then be used in a variety of ways in the kitchen. In the age of crock-pots and microwave ovens, some even forgot how to dry crackers in the oven.

It’s time to recall this simple cooking action, as well as some tricks that will make it possible to prepare a delicious and original product that complements any dish.

Oven drying

The best option for obtaining crackers is an oven. In the microwave, bread can be burned, in a conventional dryer, the crispy crusts simply will not work, the procedure will take a long time near the stove or in the sun. Also at home is often stale bread, which is a pity to throw in the trash. But it can be reanimated by drying on crackers.

Where can dried bread come in handy?

It was once believed that crackers can be made from stale or undernourished bread products. Modern hostesses vote for tasty and safe home-made food products. Not everyone trusts crackers from the store. Here's what you can do with home-dried bread:

1. 1. A handful of dry cubes are served with soups or broths.
   2. Not the sugary taste of vanilla crackers will be appreciated by tea lovers.
   3. Rusks serve as an excellent addition to various salads.

• Dried slices of rye bread, especially with sauce, are suitable as a snack for beer.

• Ready meals, such as stewed vegetables, boiled potatoes, can be sprinkled with breadcrumbs fried in sunflower oil and garlic to give a spicy flavor.
• Crumb crumbs can sprinkle dessert.

• Homemade kvass is prepared using rye-dried bread in a microwave or electric oven.

• Strong tea with breadcrumbs will help if there are problems with the intestines, this is a well-known fixing agent.

• • All crackers, depending on their purpose, should vary in size and shape. Soup and salad should be diced, beer and for kvass cut into cubes, etc. Mixing different figures is not allowed.

• Drying of bread is carried out at different temperatures, and 100 and 200 degrees. Each hostess chooses for herself which of the pair of basic methods, how to properly dry crackers, choose:

I. The roll is cut into cubes or sticks, which are laid out on a dry baking sheet. The oven warms up to 120 or 140 degrees, then they put a sheet there. If each cube is cut 1 * 1 cm, then 20 minutes is enough. For one-centimeter blocks, a time of 35 or 40 minutes is suitable. After 10 minutes of drying, the cubes are mixed and waiting for their full readiness. In the procedure with whetstones, they are periodically stirred about 4 times until the end of cooking. So you can dry rye and inedible white bread, products from coarsely ground flour. The rolls are fried for no more than 10 minutes. When it is noticeable that the bread began to dry out and its stiffness is felt, turn off the oven, leaving the crackers in the oven until it cools down.

II. For more crispbread, baking in the 180 or 200 degree mode is suitable. It takes only 10 minutes. In this case, it is more dangerous to carry out drying manipulations than in the first. But evenly cut pieces are more fried.

• • For storage use a cotton bag or plastic container. So that the bread does not mold, they are placed in a container well-dried, and left in a dry, dark place where no distinct smells should be present, otherwise the crackers are filled with them.

• Bread crumbs are obtained from a broken off crushed and dried white bread.

Pastry chef tips for making delicious crispy crackers

1. 1. Before baking crackers in a microwave or oven, they are sometimes salted, sprinkled with spices or chopped herbs, small pieces of garlic, salted or sugared.
   2. Sprinkle pieces of bread on a sheet with an even layer.

• If you want to take rusks with you on a hike, then you will need pieces with a quarter of a regular piece of a loaf. How much to dry them depends on the desired result. But no longer than 25 minutes. with a preheated oven to 200 degrees. If in the microwave, then at high power it will take about 2 or 3 minutes.

• Any baker knows how to dry rusks in a bread oven to get a golden crust. To do this, grease the sheet with vegetable or butter, and get the desired effect.

• For crispy and tender medium slices of wheat or rye quality, an hour-long drying in the oven, heated to 150 degrees, will be required.
• Kvass crackers from brown bread are fried in a cupboard for no more than 50 minutes.

Tip: If you do not know how much you need to put the baking in the oven, it is worth starting from which product is used. If the slices of rolls are 2 cm thick, then they are fried in the oven at 150 or 170 degrees for ten minutes, then they are in the oven for another 20 minutes. Sliced \u200b\u200bloafs coated in butter, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, then they are placed for 30 minutes at 130 either 140 degrees.

An oven-dried bread or loaf will be healthier than a microwave oven. This case is more troublesome, but less dangerous. With different nuances, there will be a different result, which will surely please the household.

Crackers in the oven. Recipe with photo

So, I propose to cook such homemade crackers from a white classic loaf. He has an ideal density for this. Of course, the most logical way to cook homemade crackers from slightly loaf bread, but if you really want to, you can also from fresh. We cut the loaf into cubes or give any other shape to future crackers, this will not affect the success of the final dish.

We heat up a large pan and send our future crackers a little to fry. Although this is a recipe for crackers in the oven, a step with frying is necessary, and I will explain why. Bread, even if it had time to slightly harden, after mixing with butter (this is the next step) threatens to partially turn into porridge, but we do not need such an effect. We want to get whole beautiful crackers. It is in order to keep the cubes of bread in shape and we will dry them in a pan. The time for this step will not take much, about 5 minutes, subject to strong fire and frequent stirring of crackers in a pan.

  So we have come to the step where we will prepare the “taste” for our crackers. The basis will be two types of butter - sunflower and butter, and in the butter we add everything that should, in our opinion, be present in the taste of crackers. This time I just have fresh, passed through the press, garlic and ground pepper. Well, salt. You can also use ground paprika, turmeric, dry garlic, a mixture of dried herbs and so on.

  Add the spiced butter to the crackers and mix everything well. Then put the crackers on a baking sheet (if desired, you can cover it with parchment) and send it to the preheated oven to dry again and fix the taste. Bake crackers for 15 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees.

  That's the whole recipe. Everything ingenious is simple, and simple is ingenious. Just imagine, we turned yesterday’s bread into a wonderful snack that will refresh and complement the soup, borsch, brighten up the evening on the TV, and you can also make excellent salads with croutons (for example, Caesar). Bon Appetit!

  For additional taste, squeeze garlic to crackers and stir a little so that the bread is saturated with garlic aromas.



  I pour bread with butter, leave for 5-6 minutes to soak.





  I lay crackers in a pan along with all the seasonings and spices. I set the oven to bake until golden brown. Rusks should dry well in the oven and become crispy.
