Kittencals Garlic Croutons Recipes

Steps:

• In a small 2-cup mini food processor, process/mince the anchovy fillets and garlic together until finely minced (do this together and firstly, otherwise it will not get minced properly with the other ingredients).
• Add in the remaining ingredients, and process for 30 seconds, or more until well mixed.
• Adjust seasonings to taste.
• Thin with buttermilk (or milk) for a thinner consistency if desired.
• Store in fridge, covered in a glass container for 3 or more hours before using (the flavors become stronger when left in the fridge for a longer time).
• Toss desired amount of dressing with Romaine lettuce and croutons.
• Sprinkle with more grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Steps:

• Set oven to 325°F.
• Lighly grease a large baking sheet.
• Place the butter, garlic powder or fresh minced garlic and salt or seasoned salt in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted.
• Mix in the dried parsley (if using).
• If you are using fresh garlic allow the melted butter mixture to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to infuse the garlic flavor into the butter.
• Brush both sides of the bread slices liberally with the melted butter mixture using a pastry brush.
• Using a serrated knife slice into small cubes or desired sizes.
• Place the bread cubes onto the baking sheet.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until desired crispness (watch closely these brown quickly!).
• Let cool and store in a covered container in the fridge or freeze.

Steps:

• In a skillet heat oil and garlic. Saute bread in oil until browned on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Cut into bite-sized cubes.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large (10-inch) saute pan until hot. Add the bread and cook over medium heat, tossing frequently, until the bread is evenly toasted and browned. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Mix together the garlic, salt, and olive oil in a small bowl.
• Put the bread cubes on a baking sheet and drizzle the garlic oil over them.
• Toss to coat.
• Spread them out in a single layer.
• Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and very dry.
• About halfway through, stir once to brown evenly.

Steps:

• Trim crusts from bread. Cut bread into 1/2-inch cubes or smaller. There should be about 1 cup.
• Heat oil in a skillet; when hot, add bread and garlic cloves. Cook, shaking skillet and stirring, until bread cubes are golden brown. Drain in a sieve. Discard garlic.

Steps:

• Spray two round 8-inch baking pans with cooking spray (preferable a dark metal pan).
• Melt 1/3 cup butter then mix in 1 teaspoon garlic powder until well combined.
• Drizzle enough melted butter/garlic mixture to lightly cover the bottom of the pan; set the remaining butter/garlic mixture aside to use later.
• Attach the kneader blade to the heavy duty stand mixer.
• In a small bowl or cup proof the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/2 cup warm water for about 8-10 minutes or until foamy (if the yeast does not foam discard and start again).
• In the stainless steel mixing bowl from a heavy duty stand mixer combine 2-1/2 cups flour with 1 tablespoon sugar, salt and 1 to 1-1/4 teaspoons garlic powder, warm milk, soft shortening and egg.
• After the yeast has been proofed pour into the bowl then start mixing/kneading adding in a little more flour if needed to create a soft smooth dough (kneading time should take about 7-8 minutes).
• Remove to a greased bowl; cover and allow the dough to rise until doubled in size (about 1 to 1-1/2 hours, rising time will vary depending on the temperature of your kitchen and also dough with added egg will take longer to rise).
• Punch down the dough then divide into 10 even pieces then shape into balls.
• Place 5 balls in each pan (4 around the edges and 1 in the middle).
• Stir the reserved melted butter/garlic mixture once again before using as the garlic powder may have settled on the bottom, the lightly drizzle on top of each bun.
• Using your hands turn the balls to coat in the butter mixture.
• For even more garlic flavor pinch a small amount of garlic powder between your fingers then sprinkle over the top of each dough ball.
• Cover with a light clean tea towel and allow to rise for about 30 minutes or until almost doubled in size.
• Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large saute pan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add bread cubes, and toss to coat. Spread on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until crisp and dry. Check frequently to prevent burning. Cool.

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the chicken broth with cornstarch until smooth and no lumps remain.
• Add in honey, soy sauce, vinegar and brown sugar; whisk vigorously until well combined.
• In a medium saucepan heat oil over medium-low heat.
• Add in garlic and chili flakes (if using) cook stirring until softened (about 2 minutes, do not brown the garlic).
• Whisk in cornstarch mixture; bring to a simmer stirring constantly and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened (about 3-4 minutes).
• Delicious!

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk the egg then whisk in milk, fresh garlic and cumin.
• Place the chicken in the mixture and refrigerate for 1 or more hours.
• In a shallow dish combine garlic powder with onion powder, black pepper, seasoned salt, paprika, flour, breadcrumbs and cayenne pepper (if using).
• Heat 1 cup oil in a heavy skillet to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the egg/milk mixture allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the flour/breadcrumb mixture.
• Fry the chicken in hot oil about 5-6 minutes per side or until cooked through (if you do not pound the chicken breasts thin you may partially cook the chicken in the skillet then remove to a baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven if desired).
• Remove to paper towels or a brown paper bag to absorb the oil.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. For more teeth-friendly croutons, remove the crusts from the bread, then cut the loaf into inch-thick slices. Cut each slice into inch-wide strips. Working over a large bowl, tear each strip into inch-size pieces. Alternatively, you can tear croutons directly off the loaf, as long as you get somewhat evenly sized pieces.
• Toss croutons with olive oil to coat them evenly, then spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Use a second sheet as needed to prevent crowding, which will entrap steam and keep the croutons from browning.
• Toast croutons for about 18 to 22 minutes, checking them after 8 minutes. Rotate the pans, switch their oven positions, and use a metal spatula to turn and rotate the croutons so that they brown evenly. Once they begin to brown, check them every few minutes, continuing to turn and rotate. Some croutons might be done when others still need a few more minutes of baking, so remove them from the tray and let the rest finish cooking. Bake the croutons until they're golden brown and crunchy on the outside, with just a tiny bit of chew on the inside.
• Taste a crouton and adjust the seasoning with a light sprinkling of salt if needed. Let croutons cool in a single layer on the baking sheet. Use immediately or keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days. To refresh stale croutons, bake for 3 to 4 minutes at 400 degrees.
