Crispy Bread Balls Recipe: Ingredients

• 6 slices of bread (crusts removed)
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley or coriander
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup water (for flour paste)
• Cooking oil (for frying)

Crispy Bread Balls Recipe: Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix shredded mozzarella, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
2. Form the Balls: Dip each bread slice briefly in water to soften it. Squeeze out excess water, then place a spoonful of the cheese filling in the center. Gently shape the bread around the filling, forming a ball. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
3. Coat the Bread Balls: Mix the flour with water to make a smooth paste. Dip each bread ball in the paste, ensuring a thin, even coating for extra crispiness.
4. Fry the Bread Balls: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the bread balls in small batches until they turn golden brown and crispy. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
5. Serve: Serve your crispy bread balls warm with a dipping sauce of your choice—garlic aioli, marinara, or spicy ketchup work great!

Tips for Perfect Crispy Bread Balls:

• For extra crunch: Add a coating of breadcrumbs after dipping in the flour paste.
• Baking Option: If you prefer, bake the bread balls at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.

Enjoy these crispy delights, and be prepared for requests for seconds!
