Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Prepare the olive oil
In a small bowl, stir the olive oil and Italian seasoning (if using) together.
Chef’s Tip: You can also use a mix of fresh chopped herbs like parsley, thyme, or oregano for variation.
3. Prep the bread
Slice bread into 1–1.5 cm (½ inch) thick slices and arrange on a baking tray. Lightly brush both sides with olive oil.
4. Toast the bread
Bake for 8–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
5. Add garlic
While the toast is still warm, rub the cut side of the garlic over both sides of the toast. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
6. Serve or store
Use immediately for bruschetta or crostini toppings or serve with soup.
Or cool completely and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
