i am not a huge fan of sandwich recipes, yet we do get bread packets regularly as my husband like to have toast and avocado for breakfast. obviously he would not be able to finish all the bread slices before the expiry date and i do not like to waste food. hence i always continuously look for leftover recipes, particularly from bread slices. as a matter of fact, you may have already got that feeling through my website. i have posted quite a few snack recipes with leftover bread slices. it includes recipes like dosa, idli, vada, samosa, kachori and even dessert recipe. i personally like the deep-fried snack from bread slices, but it is completely up to your preference and you can use it as it is.
furthermore i would like to include some tips, suggestions and variations for a perfect bread balls recipe. firstly, the ideal bread slices for this recipe is the white plain flour-based bread. do not attempt with wheat or multi-grain as you need plain flour gluten to shape the snack. secondly, while shaping, ensure it is shaped properly with a tight seal to block the stuffing. otherwise the stuffing may ooze our while deep frying and you may not be able to reuse the oil. lastly, the snack is ideal if served immediately once it is deep-fried. it may turn soggy and may lose shape if it is rested for a while after deep frying.
