masala bread recipe with step by step pics. one of the quickest, yummiest and easiest snack you can make with bread is masala bread. this recipe is a spicy version of bread masala. i make masala bread in a similar way i make bread upma. just that i skip a few spices and herbs which i add in bread upma.

to make bread masala, a base of onion-tomatoes and spices is made. the bread cubes are mixed with this masala base. as a result the bread cubes get coated with this tangy and spicy masala and tastes too good. usually we prefer masala soaked soft bread cubes. but you can cook the bread for more time and get a crisp and toasted texture on the bread.

as a healthier alternative use wheat bread or multi grain bread. since making masala bread does not take a lot of time and gets done quickly, you can serve as a quick snack for unexpected guests or friends. you can also serve masala bread as an after school snack for kids. for small kids skip the green chilies and red chili powder and reduce garam masala powder.

in this bread masala recipe you can also use pav (bread rolls) instead of bread. pav bhaji masala can be added instead of garam masala powder. if using pav bhaji masala, then you can add some finely chopped capsicum along with the tomatoes.

few more tasty bread snacks recipes where you can use leftover bread are:

• bread pakora
• bread roll
• bread pizza
• cheese sandwich
• mayonnaise sandwich
