消耗剩余面包的最佳方法

I’ve been on a bread-making bender lately, experimenting with various types of loaves. While testing recipes makes me learn a lot about how things work (and what doesn’t!), I’ve been facing an onslaught of bread. Since I’m having guests over tonight, and I just made a few trays, I thought I’d share my favorite way to use up leftover bread.

This isn’t great for using up leftover white bread, or anything fine-textured. But for country-style loaves, sourdough, or baguettes, it can’t be beat. Grainy breads work well, too.

首先，您的面包应该仍然稍微柔软，不要硬，因为您将无法切片。如果面包变得过于牢固，请将其粘在塑料袋中，并用手指在其中放一点水，然后将袋子关闭。在一天的几个小时内，面包将足够柔软，可以切成薄片。

将面包切成大于1/2英寸（1厘米）的块。将它们单层放在烤盘上，然后用适量的橄榄油刷每个。（如果需要的话，您可以将非常少量的百里香切成油。）

Bake the slices of bread in a 350ºF (180ºC) oven for about 5 minutes, until the bread is slightly toasted and browned. Remove from the oven and when cool enough to handle (but while still warm), rub each piece of bread with garlic from a peeled clove as firmly as you can without breaking the bread, to get little pieces of garlic melded to the bread.

Let the bread cool, and serve. If you’d like to save them for later, once cool, wrap them in an air-tight container. But they should be served the same day they’re made.

与最喜欢的蘸酱一起食用hummus,eggplant caviar,巴巴·甘努斯（Baba Ganoush）, or烤山羊奶酪. You can also toss them in a mixed green salad, or use them as crostini, underneath the topping of your choice.
