Crispy Bread Fries Recipe
Ingredients
- 50g softened butter
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
- 4 bread slices
Directions
Before getting started make sure you have all the ingredients ready to be used on your kitchen countertop. This will help you to work faster without making any mess or letting your strips get soggy instead of crispy. And then let’s start with–
- In a bowl take 50 grams of softened butter.
- Then add ½ teaspoon of chili flax, ½ teaspoon of oregano, and ½ teaspoon of garlic paste.
- Now, ½ teaspoon of coriander leave. Mix all the ingredients using a spoon and set the mixture aside.
- Next, take 4 fresh bread slices and cut the edges off first.
- After that, cut the pieces of bread into evenly thin strips.
- Time to put the butter mixture into use now. Side by side assemble the bread strips and then using a silicon brush evenly apply the mixture on each of the strips.
- In a frying pan, place the butter mixture-covered bread strips and keep frying them until each strip turns into crispy and golden brown.
- With intervals flip the strips and fry for some more time until both side turns evenly crispy. Also, keep applying butter on both sides of the strips.
- When golden crispy your bread fries are ready to be served into a dish and enjoyed with ketchup, chutney, or whatever dipping you may like.
Side Dish Ideas for Bread Fries
Since the bread fries are crispy in texture they pair really well with spicy cheese dip. Its creaminess improves the test of crispiness even more. Or if you want to try some rich, garlicky flavour you can add Garlic Aioli to the menu.
A tomato soup however tastes great for pairing a dipping like classic breadsticks. And for drinks, some hot masala chai would be great. Or some blue ocean mojito if it’s summer.
Chef’s Tips
- Use slightly stale bread as stale bread fries turn out to make crispier fries.
- If you are not fond of oil frying try baking instead at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes until crispy.
- Experiment with seasonings. For instance try Italian seasoning, black pepper, or smoked paprika for different flavors. See what soothes our taste buds better.
