How to make kirieshki at home

Crispy salted crackers have become popular relatively recently - no more than 10 years ago. This is a great beer snack, an interesting ingredient in any salad, and just a good snack. Most of all crunchy crackers are loved by children. But you can not always be sure of the quality of the product. Often the kirieshki sold in the store are crammed with preservatives and flavor enhancers. And this, as you know, is not very useful for the body, especially for children. Therefore, we will learn how to cook kirieshki independently, at home. They will turn out not only much tastier and healthier, but also much more profitable!

Classic Kirieshki

This is a recipe for traditional curies with salt, pepper and spices, but without additional flavors.

1. The first thing to choose for making salted crackers is bread. Softer and crumbly white bread kiries are obtained. If you want a traditional option - choose a rye loaf. Bread should be cut in equal slices. If you prepare kirieshki for beer, it is better to cut bread into cubes, if to soup - into cubes. It is very important to observe the same size of crackers - so they will evenly dry out and will not burn. To cut the bread evenly, it does not have to be fresh. Better to take yesterday’s loaf. If breadcrumbs are needed today, just put the bread in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Cold bread does not crumble; it’s easier to cut.
2. The next thing to do is put together the set of spices you prefer. Pour in a small cup a little salt, pepper, basil, dill, paprika - everything you love. The hops-suneli seasoning gives the Kiriesh special taste and exquisite aroma. In its composition there are special spicy herbs that give the bread a delicate taste and aroma.
3. To prepare kirieshek you will need a plastic bag, it must be absolutely airtight. Pour slices of bread and cooked dry seasoning mixture into it. Close the bag so that it has maximum air. In this case, mixing the contents will be much more convenient. Shake the bag well so that seasonings and salt penetrate the spaces between the bread pores and give crackers a natural flavor.
4. To taste rusks more saturated, you need to flavor pieces of bread with vegetable oil. However, it is important not to overdo it - a large amount of oil will make crackers rancid and oily. You can add no more than three teaspoons of butter per kilogram of fresh bread. Pour the oil into the bag and shake it thoroughly. Be careful - do not remember crackers.
5. The next step is drying the future kirieshek. On a baking sheet you need to line the parchment paper and pour the prepared crackers onto it. Distribute them so that they lie in a row. If there are a lot of crackers, it is better to dry them in two passes.
6. Drying crackers is best at low temperature, but for a long time. So they will not change their color. With quick drying, the curies are more crumbly, but they become dark and unattractive. The optimum oven temperature for drying is 150-180 degrees. It usually takes about 30 minutes to fully cook. Rusks need to be mixed from time to time so that they are dried evenly. If this is not done, the crackers along the edges of the pan will begin to burn, and the middle ones will not be ready yet.

When the crackers have dried, they just need to be removed from the oven and allowed to cool. A tasty and unusual snack is prepared quite quickly - it will take you no more than an hour to do everything. But kirieshki can be not just classic, but with various additional tastes.

How to cook different flavors

There are many crackers on sale that mimic the taste of bacon, cheese, garlic and other ingredients. The vast majority of these flavors are achieved through artificial flavors and flavors. And at home, we will prepare natural crackers with natural flavors.

1. Chicken garlic. This taste is perhaps the most popular and sought after. Fragrant garlic crackers will not leave anyone indifferent. There are two ways to cook them. The first is that the bread is sliced ​​in the same way as in the classic recipe; the finished sliced ​​pieces are sprinkled with seasonings and salt. But in the oil you first need to fry the garlic, sliced ​​in plates. We don’t need garlic itself, but garlic oil will be just the way. Pour the garlic oil into a bag of bread, shake it and dry in the oven. The second way to cook garlic kirieshek is to rub dried bread into slices of garlic. When large pieces of bread are rubbed with garlic, they can be cut into small cubes and dried as usual.
2. Kirieshki with mushrooms. Mushroom crispy crackers have a spicy taste and delicate aroma. It’s very simple to prepare mushrooms curies - for this you need only a cube of seasoning for mushroom broth. Just crumble it over breadcrumbs before or after drying and the spicy snack is ready.
3. Bacon Flavored Kirieshki. Pour a little oil into the pan and fry a few pieces of bacon on it. Do not take out the bacon right away, let it remain in the pan until it cools down, as the oil will absorb more taste and aroma. When the pan cools down, remove the bacon and turn on the heat. After the oil warms up, pour ready-made crackers into the pan and begin to stir them vigorously. Be careful not to burn the future delicacy. When the butter is completely absorbed into the bread, the crackers can be removed and allowed to cool.
4. Kirieshki with the taste of sour cream and herbs. To prepare this unusual taste you will need milk powder, butter and a bunch of dill. Greens need to be cut very finely, but it is better to grind it in a blender. You should get at least a full teaspoon of chopped dill. Pour dill and a tablespoon of milk powder into the hot oil and fry. Add the finished crackers to the pan and fry them on all sides. When the crackers have cooled, do not forget to salt them and mix well.

Home-made Kirieshki have a deeper and more natural taste. And most importantly, you can safely offer them to your child.
