CRISPY ROUNDS



Crispy Rounds image

In France, a croûte is simply a slice of bread that has been either toasted or fried. For the crispy rounds, a baguette-style bread is ideal. We like sourdough, olive bread, ciabatta, or pumpernickel, although any type of thinly sliced bread works. We cut the bread into thin rounds or triangles and brush one side with butter or olive oil, then toast them on the grill or under the broiler until lightly golden. Depending on what you're serving them with, you can cook them like toast, so that they're still a little tender, or until crisp all the way through. The toasted, chewy variations are best served right away, while still warm, whereas thoroughly crisp croûtes will keep for several days in an airtight container or Ziploc bag. Be sure to let them cool completely before storing or they will steam and soften when stored. If you want to get a little fancy, try mixing some chopped herbs, grated cheese, or smashed raw or roasted garlic in with the butter or oil.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried dill, optional
3 rounds of white or whole wheat pita bread
Salt
1 (16-ounce) package wonton wrappers (about 24)
2 egg whites, beaten
Black and white sesame seeds, for garnish
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and seasonings (except salt). Brush the pita rounds on both sides with the seasoned oil. Cut each round into 12 wedges. Lay the wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle lightly with salt and bake for about 10 minutes, then turn wedges over and bake another 3-5 minutes. They should be darkened and crispy but not too brown. Cool completely and serve. Any leftovers will keep for several days in a Ziploc bag or airtight container.
  • Defrost the wrappers and peel them apart. Stack and cut them in half (some are round and some are square; it doesn't matter). Brush them with a little egg white and sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds. Heat 2 inches of oil to 350°F in a saucepan or wok and gently drop in the crisps, a few at a time. If they start to curl, straighten them with tongs. Turn them once, and when they are light golden brown (about 30 seconds), remove and drain them on paper towels. When the crisps are cool, place in an airtight container or Ziploc bag; they will stay crisp for several days.
