the ideal oven temperature is considered to be 120 degrees Celsius. The cooking process will last at least 45 minutes, but the croutons will definitely not burn, and stirring with turning is not needed;
a medium-fried consistency is achieved as follows - a baking sheet with the product is placed in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 15 minutes, then the contents are turned over and placed there again for the same period of time;
if sunflower oil was not used in the cooking process, then crackers can be safely stored in paper bags and fabric bags. Over time, dry bread loses its shape and crumbles. But it turns out to be a wonderful breading.

Divide 0.5 loaf into 3 parts, take one and send in a bag with spices. Inflate the cellophane cavity, tie, shake the device vigorously. Such a move will distribute the mixture evenly over the entire surface of the crackers.
Prepare a baking sheet, if desired, brush its surface with a very thin layer. Lay the first piece of loaf in one row, do the same for the second and third sections.
When all the slices of bread are greased with the composition and laid out on a baking sheet, you can start cooking. Preheat the oven to 190-200 degrees. Send the baking sheet inside, stir the composition periodically.
When the crackers are golden brown and brittle, remove them from the oven cavity. Never leave it inside, otherwise the bread will become very tough. Serve hot, warm or cold.

It is worth remembering forever that the temperature regime of the oven is indicated approximately. Based on the specifications of your machine.
If we talk about the sort of "raw material", the duration of heat treatment of black bread is much longer than that of gray or white. This feature is due to the density.
Choose the right temperature. It is not necessary to set high power, 140-150 degrees is enough. In this case, you can count on the crackers will not burn.
Cut the loaf into wide plates or slices, so it looks more aesthetically pleasing. In the case of white bread, chop it into cubes, black - into strips (sticks).
It is known that bread absorbs moisture, so it melts quickly. It is recommended to consume the finished product immediately after frying to keep it crispy.
If you decide to stand the crackers for a while, leave them at an air humidity of no more than 60%. Choose your storage utensils carefully, cloth bags or a food container with a lid will do.

It's easy to make crackers at home if you follow step by step instructions... Consider a recipe for toasted bread cubes with cheese, garlic, herbs, crab sticks or olive herbs. Make crackers in the oven, microwave, or skillet.
