One of my favourite Estonian snacks is küüslauguleivad - Estonian garlic bread. I eat it every single time I visit Estonia and recently started making it myself at home. Küüslauguleivad is extremely flavoursome and so easy to make.
Ingredients:
8 slices of dark rye bread
4 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon of salt
1/ 2 cup oil
Method
Cut the bread into strips and mix in a bowl with the crushed garlic and salt then leave to season for 10 minutes. Add the oil and combine well. Spread the mix on a lined baking tray and cook for 12-14 minutes at 220 degrees until crisp. Stir a few times during baking to ensure the bread will bake evenly. Place the cooked bread on kitchen paper to cool and remove excess oil.
Küüslauguleivad is often accompanied with a garlic mayonnaise dip. To make, simply mix half a cup of mayonnaise with 3 Tbsp of milk, 1 clove of crushed garlic, 2 Tbsp of finely chopped dill and a pinch of black pepper.
