Fried bread with garlic
Description
The appetizer is quick and easy to make. At first glance it may seem that even a child can fry bread. But in reality—how many times have I had to eat bread soaked through, literally dripping with oil, underdone and overdone, dry and falling apart in my hands... Meanwhile, a piece of toasted bread spread with fragrant garlic is a universal appetizer and the base for many different sandwiches. A couple of drops of homemade mayonnaise and a little grated cheese, a slice of fresh tomato or a piece of juicy bacon, a round of hard-boiled egg or a spoonful of zucchini caviar—there are practically no foods in nature that such fried bread would not go with. So it's worth knowing,

Step 1

The shape is up to you, but the thickness should be 1–1.2 centimeters. That's important! Whether to trim the crust is up to you. I think it's tastier with it ;).
