- Slice the bread into 1-inch thick slices and brush them with melted butter or olive oil. This will help the bread to toast evenly and prevent it from drying out.
- Sprinkle the bread slices with Italian seasoning. You can use a store-bought blend or make your own with a combination of dried basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and garlic powder.
- Bake the bread slices in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the bread slices immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include marinara sauce, pesto, or olive oil.
