Home Made Bread Rusks

Who doesn't like the taste of rusks dipped in tea.... the crispy thing melting in the mouth... the subtle sweet taste of milk rusk or the very Indian ones with some spices in it....

The ones that I made have neither used all purpose flour "maida" or yeast " khameer".I don't have the skill and the patience to make them.,so I used the shortcut instead

BREAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

The only skill required is a sharp eye on the color of the bread while its baked.

Bread Rusks

Ingredients

- Bread of your choice you may use the regular white bread if you are health conscious you can go for the wheat bread.

- Ghee or Butter choice is yours

- Sugar and milk if you want the sweet milk rusks

- Salt if you want the salted ones

Preparation

1) Simple Rusks ... Cut the bread in two halves. Apply ghee liberally on one side of the bread keep the other side dry.

2) Milk Rusks.... Mix ghee , sugar and milk ... the measure is one tea spoon of milk for each bread. Sugar depends on how sweet you want them to be;half a tea spoon for each bread will suffice. Use half a tea spoon of ghee for each bread.Apply the mixture on one side of the bread; take care that you don't soak the bread wet. Cut the bread in two halves

3) Salted Rusk.... Mix ghee and salt... the measurement remains the same ... half a tea spoon of ghee for each bread and salt to taste. Apply the mixture on one side of the bread keep the other side dry. Cut the bread in two halves

Baking the rusks

Spread the aluminium foil in the baking dish. While placing the bread pieces make sure the side on which you have applied the mixture is down.

Now comes the most tricky part of the dish... time for which the breads should be baked. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Bake for 12 minutes. Take out the baking dish and touch the bread if the are crisp you may take it out but if you want them to be a bit more brown or crispy you can keep it for 3 more minutes or you can just keep them in the hot oven till it cools.

Take out that prized possession of yours and relish it with tea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
