Report

Bread crisps are buttery, crispy little baguette bread slices brushed with garlic infused butter and then oven baked until they are golden brown - great for dips and appetizers or on a grazing board.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180c.
Mix together garlic and salt with melted butter in a small bowl then set aside to infuse.
Thinly slice the baguette (approximately 3 - 4mm slices).
Place the slices in a single layer on a baking tray (you may need two trays).
Strain the garlic butter to remove the crushed garlic.
Brush the bread slices with the garlic-infused melted butter.
Bake for 5 - 8 minutes until crisp and golden brown.
They will crisp up even more as they cool.

Notes

*Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
If you use salted butter, just adjust the amount of salt to add (or maybe not add any at all).
If you can't buy a baguette you can substitute with several crusty long bread rolls.
Removing the core from the garlic gives it a more mellow flavour, plus infusing it in the butter rather than using the crushed garlic itself does this too.
Thinner slices of bread will give you crisper results.
The right sharp knife for the job is really important here. You need to use a serrated (bread) knife.
The secret is to let the knife do the work (a backward and forward sawing motion) with minimal downward pressure. This won't squash the bread and will help you get thin slices.
Sometimes the side of the bread slices more easily (without squashing) so try turning the breadstick on its side if you are having trouble.
These start to brown up very quickly after about 5 minutes, plus don't forget any thicker pieces will be the last to go brown so may need a little longer in the oven.
