how to make fried bread
To begin, we put abundant olive oil in a deep frying pan to fry and we take it to the fire. We wait for the oil to reach the optimal temperature to be able to fry the slices of bread and for this we will put a piece of bread in the oil. When it starts to brown, the oil is ready to start frying the slices of bread.
We fry two by two 4 slices of bread from the day before. At this point we will lower the temperature of the oil a bit, which does not have to smoke. Once the slices of bread are fried on one side, we will turn them over to fry them on the other side. The bread is fried very quickly so we will be very careful that it does not burn.
Once the slices of bread are fried on both sides, we take them to a plate on which we will have put kitchen paper to remove excess fat.
And we already have the fried bread ready. Add a little salt or sugar and serve it still hot.
