We cut rye or white bread into slices up to one centimeter thick and spread them in one layer on a preheated pan, after splashing a little refined vegetable oil into it. After the bread slices acquire a beautiful blush on both sides, we remove them onto a dish. We pass the peeled garlic cloves through a press, mix with salt, add a little vegetable oil to the mixture and apply it to the still hot ruddy croutons. After the products have cooled down and soaked a little, you can serve them to the table with a glass of beer.

In this case, the technological process of preparing toast for beer is somewhat different from the previous one. And this is not surprising, because now we will make them in the oven. To do this, cut the bread into slices and immediately cover with a mixture prepared from garlic cloves and salt, peeled and squeezed through a press. After that, we lay the bread slices with the filler on top of each other in a pile and leave to soak for ten to fifteen minutes.
After the lapse of time, we shake off the garlic salty mass from the soaked bread, which we subsequently cut into sticks or slices of another desired shape and then lay them out on a baking sheet. We place the blanks in a hot oven and let them dry and acquire the desired blush for ten to twenty minutes. At the same time, we maintain the temperature at 220 degrees. Two or three minutes before the end of cooking, crush the croutons with hard cheese grated on a fine grater and let it melt completely, and, if desired, brown.
Ready-made croutons can be served with beer, both warm and already cooled.

A simple recipe for garlic croutons will make your evening a little more interesting. It is not necessary to use this snack only with beer. It is very tasty to soak such crispy crackers in borscht with sour cream.
Below is a detailed step-by-step recipe on how to make garlic croutons in a pan, a photo is attached to the instructions. Use our recipe and treat yourself to a cold beer with sad homemade spicy croutons.
Let's prepare all our few ingredients. Bread must be black, a small loaf or half of a large brick. It is best to take Borodino bread.
Rub the garlic cloves on the smallest grater. It will also be acceptable to chop the garlic very finely. If you are too lazy, you can use garlic powder, but the sensations will be completely different. In a deep bowl, mix the garlic and vegetable oil. Let the mixture brew for 20 minutes: then the oil will be saturated with garlic.
While the oil is infused, let's deal directly with the croutons. We will get rid of the crusts from the loaf, this will help us to give the bread the correct rectangular shape.
Then we cut all our bread into uniform sticks. Their size completely depends on your desire. The recommended size is 1 cm.
For frying, we will use a frying pan with a thick bottom. Pour the garlic mixture into it and heat the oil well. If you put the croutons in the pan too early, the bread will absorb the oil and lose its crispy texture.
We dip the black bread sticks into the boiling oil, carefully dump them in the garlic mixture and fry over high heat. On each side about 2-3 minutes.
Keep an eye on the readiness of the toast and ensure that the oil is not completely fried.
Remove the finished croutons from the heat and dry on a paper towel. This way we get rid of excess oil. Ready-made croutons with garlic can be served hot with beer!
