restaurant_menuInstructions
-
1
Heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F.
-
2
Cut each bread slice into three long fingers.
-
3
Brush both sides very lightly with melted butter.
-
4
Arrange the bread fingers in one layer on a baking tray.
-
5
Bake for 8–12 minutes, turning halfway, until dry, crisp, and lightly golden.
-
6
Check the texture rather than relying only on colour. The bread should feel firm and make a light snap when gently bent—not feel soft or bendy. If still flexible, bake for another 1–2 minutes, then check again.
-
7
Transfer the bread fingers to a wire rack and cool completely. They must be fully cool and crisp before adding chocolate.
-
8
Place the chopped chocolate in a completely dry heatproof bowl.
-
9
Set the bowl over a saucepan containing a small amount of gently simmering water. The bottom of the bowl must not touch the water.
-
10
Stir until the chocolate is almost melted. Remove the bowl from the heat and continue stirring until completely smooth.
-
11
Dip one end of each cooled bread finger into the melted chocolate.
-
12
Add an optional topping while the chocolate is still wet.
-
13
Place the fingers on parchment paper and leave until the chocolate is completely set.
Chef's Tips
- •Keep the bowl, spoon, and saucepan completely dry — even a small amount of water can make the chocolate thick and grainy.
- •Storage: store in an airtight container at cool room temperature and eat within two days for the best crunch.
sync_altAlternative Ways to Cook This
Place the chocolate in a small, completely dry saucepan over the lowest possible heat. Stir constantly and remove it from the heat before every piece has melted. Continue stirring off the heat until smooth.
Air-fry the bread fingers at 170°C / 340°F for 5–7 minutes, turning halfway. Check that they feel firm and lightly snap when bent — if they remain soft or flexible, cook for another minute and check again.
