Bread is a product of daily use. For breakfast we eat it as sandwiches, for lunch - with soup, and in the evening - with what we cooked for dinner. Bread is rich in nutrients, trace elements, fiber. However, nutritionists say that white bread is bad for your figure and every bite eaten is deposited in subcutaneous fat. However, for many, food is not food without it. Although some refuse to use it. Fresh bread, due to the presence of a large amount of fiber, getting into the stomach sticks together in a lump, from which it takes a long time to digest, and is the reason for the formation of excess fat. Dried bread, due to its fragility, crumbles and does not stick together. It is quickly digested and does not stay in the stomach. Therefore, in order not to limit the use of this flour product and not to harm health, bread can be used in the form of crackers without the slightest twinge of conscience. Let's make a light and simple snack from bread today - crackers!
Dried bread will have a lot more benefits for the body and less harm. You can cook croutons in the oven, in a pan on the stove and in the microwave. Today we will use the latter, because they cook much faster in the microwave than in the oven. Crackers are cooked in the microwave, both sweet and salted. You can give preference to sweet croutons for milk or cocoa, or make croutons for broth or toast for beer. It depends on the selected type of bread and additives to it.

1. Cut the bread into slices about 1 cm thick. Cut the crust off if desired. But you can leave it, but then the croutons will turn out to be a little rough.
You can make croutons from any bread. For sweet bread crumbs, use a loaf. Use a stale bun for croutons, and stale for 1-2 days, so that it crumbles less during processing. Rye bread is delicious with salt and onions or salt and garlic.
2. Cut the bread into 1-1.5 cm cubes or 2.5-3 cm rectangles. Try to keep the pieces the same.
3. Place the bread in a single layer on a microwave safe plate. Sprinkle any spices, herbs or herbs on the bread, if desired.
4. Send a plate of bread to the microwave.
5. Each microwave oven has its own power, so when preparing a snack for the first time, experiment with time. Set the appliance to its highest power, for example 850 kW, and turn on the microwave for 2 minutes. Then check the croutons. If they are not ready, turn over and set the timer for another 2 minutes. Thus, you will save the crackers from burning. Repeat the operation until the croutons get the desired consistency.
