Garlic Bread Lollipops – Quick Snack

Step 1: Prepare Garlic Butter

Grate 5 garlic cloves using the fine side of a grater. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of butter with the grated garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of powdered sugar. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

Step 2: Soften Bread Corners

Place the 3 bread corners (leftovers from other recipes) in a bowl. Cover the bowl with saran wrap or food wrap and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. This will soften the bread, making it pliable for rolling. Alternatively, you can heat a pan, turn off the stove, place the bread corners on it, immediately flip them, and then remove them.

Step 3: Roll Bread Lollipops

Take one softened bread corner. Gently break it from one side and slowly roll it into a spiral shape. Once rolled, carefully insert a skewer through the center of the spiral to secure its shape, creating a lollipop. Repeat this process for the remaining bread corners.

Step 4: Cook Lollipops on Pan

Heat a pan on low flame. Spread a portion of the prepared garlic butter onto the pan. Place the bread lollipops on the buttered pan. Brush more garlic butter on the top side of the lollipops. Cook on low flame, flipping occasionally, until both sides are golden brown and crispy. If using a microwave, grill for 3 minutes, or in a conventional oven, bake at 180°C for 6-7 minutes.

Step 5: Serve

Once cooked to a golden crisp, remove the garlic bread lollipops from the pan and serve immediately. Enjoy this tasty and easy snack!

• Heating the bread corners in the microwave for 30 seconds makes them soft and easy to roll without breaking.

• If using a pan to soften the bread, heat the pan, turn off the stove, place the bread, flip immediately, and remove to prevent hardening.

• Cook the lollipops on a low flame to ensure they become crispy on the outside and remain soft inside.

• Add finely chopped fresh coriander or parsley to the garlic butter for extra flavor.

• Sprinkle some chili flakes or oregano on the garlic butter for a spicy or herby twist.

• For a cheesy version, add a thin layer of grated cheese before rolling the bread corners.
