Cuisine: International, Italian

Ingredients

  • 1 Baguette
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray
  • Kosher Salt & Fresh Group pepper
  • Parchment paper

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven to 425 degreees F. Line a sheet rtay with parchment paper.
  • Slice Baguette at a slight angle, about 1/3- 1/5 inch thick. (I prefer thinner, but they need to be thick enough to hold toppings. Need to use some judgement.)
  • Lay the bread slices in a single layer on the parchment lined sheet tray.
  • Spray the toasts with the EVOO. Spray enough to coat them so they have some oil to absorb and crisp up, but don't saturate them or they will burn before crisping or risk getting soggy.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Flip and repeat- EVOO, salt, pepper.
  • Bake for 6-8 minutes. Check for doneness. Flip if desired. Bake in 1 one minute increments until lightly toasted and crisp. Set aside to cool. (They should continue to crisp)

Notes

A great way to add another layer of flavor is to rub a peeled garlic clove on on side of the baked toast. It really changes the flavor and is perfect for some toppings that pair well with garlic such as tomatoes, olives and some meats.
