Fried Bread
A simple recipe for fried bread, cooked slowly in lard until golden and hollow inside.
Ingredients
- 4 slices Bread, stale or day-old (Cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 1 cup Lard (Or vegetable oil)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (Or to taste)
Instructions
- 1Cut the bread into 2-inch pieces.
- 2In a frying pan, heat the lard over medium-low heat until lukewarm (about 300°F or 150°C).
- 3Place the bread pieces in the lukewarm lard. Fry slowly, turning them as soon as they harden a little on one side. The bread must fry very slowly, and should remain on the fire at least ten minutes, so that the heat can penetrate gradually into the middle and make it light. This bread to be successful should be hollow inside like a fritter when finished.
- 4When the bread has taken a good golden color, remove from the lard, drain it on a napkin, add a little salt, and serve very hot.
