Best French Bread Chips Recipes

FRENCH BREAD CHIPS

Steps:

• If you can, freeze the french stick as it is easier to cut.
• Cut very thin slices- approx 1/2cm if possible.
• Mix butter or margarine with soup mix.
• Spread fairly thinly on bread slices but with good coverage.
• Place on a flat baking tray in oven set at 180 degrees celcuis for 5- 10 mins watching very closely to avoid burning.
• When the bread dries out and darkens, they are ready.
• You will have very tasty and crunchy bread chips to eat plain or with dip.
• Enjoy- but try to save some room for dinner!

GARLIC BAGUETTE CHIPS

Steps:

• Slice baguette in small slices.
• Combine the olive oil and garlic powder and mix well.
• Place slices on cookie sheet.
• Keep stirring mixture up between brushings to maintain an even flavor.
• Brush oil mixture on each baguette.
• Bake in an 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.

CLASSIC FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees, and place a wire rack on a sheet pan inside.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, additional yolks, milk, vanilla (if using) and salt until foamy and smooth. Set aside. Place a small lump of butter (enough to coat the bottom of the skillet when melted) in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over low heat. It will melt very slowly.
• When butter is just melted and bubbling, raise heat and bring to a sizzle. Place 2 slices of bread in the bowl with the egg mixture. Turn them a few times in the mixture until evenly saturated, about 5 seconds on each side. Do not soak.
• Lift a slice out of the egg mixture, gently shake off any excess, and place in the pan. Repeat until the skillet is full, and let the slices cook at a sizzle for about 2 minutes, until just turning golden brown on the bottom.
• Add another small lump of butter to the pan and flip the slices over, swirling the pan so that the fresh butter coats the bottom. (This will allow the second side to brown.)
• Continue cooking over low heat until the second side is golden brown. Dust with cinnamon sugar, flip again, and dust the other side. Test for doneness by pressing the center: The dent should slowly spring back. If it remains, the interior is not yet cooked. Continue cooking at low heat, flipping occasionally, until done. Serve immediately, or transfer to the oven to keep warm while cooking remaining bread. Serve as soon as possible. Top with maple syrup, berries, jam, sliced bananas, orange supremes - whatever you'd like.

GREATEST CHIPS (FRENCH FRIES) ON EARTH

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with plenty of water and bring up the water temperature to 62C (145F).
• I found on my electric stove top that medium was a good temperature to start with and as it approached dropping back to low held it there.
• Peel potato and cut into chips (French Fries). I think around 12mm (1/2") across is a good size, the recipe wouldn't be well suited to thin ones.
• Pre-cook in water at 62°C (145°F) for 30 minutes, drain well and allow to cool to room temperature (takes around 15 minutes).
• Deep-fry in warm oil at 130°C (265°F) for 5 minutes, drain and allow to cool to room temperature (takes around 15 minutes).
• Deep-fry in hot oil at 190°C (375°F) until golden and done to your liking, around 5 minutes. If doing a lot of chips either cook in small batches or crank up the burner if using a wok when adding so the temperature of the oil doesn't drop too much.
