I had quite a lot of bread left over this week. I had intended to freeze some but didn't get round to it and I don't need breadcrumbs.
I very thinly sliced the bread (it was plaited loaves and firm enough to slice really very thinly indeed) and laid each slice on a baking sheet lined with one of my faithful teflon sheets. i then popped it into the non-fan part of my oven set on the very lowest heat I possibly could. The intention was to take itn out before I went to bed but - ooops - I was so sleepy I forgot! However, being the lowest possible heat, no harm was done except to the electricity bill and I have no idea whatsoever how much electricity my oven uses at its very lowest setting, not a clue!
However, when I woke this morning and was lying in bed reading, it suddenly came back to me and for a moment I panicked before realising that it had to be OK or there would be, at the very least, a bad burning pong over the house!
You know what - they're absolutely delicious! Light and crunchy all the way through and just very lightly coloured to a sort of beige. However, I do need to try and work out how much the electricity was - any ideas how I can?
Don't they look lovely perhaps the electricity usage was worth it.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think it probably was, Diane, although I need to explore if it can be done faster, I think.
