Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: For the best crostini, use a sturdy bread that can hold up to toppings. A good choice is a rustic bread with a thick crust, such as sourdough or rye bread.
  • Slice the bread evenly: Cut the bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. This will ensure that the crostini are cooked evenly.
  • Brush the bread with olive oil: Before baking, brush the bread slices with olive oil. This will help them to brown and crisp up nicely.
  • Season the bread: Before baking, sprinkle the bread slices with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will add flavor to the crostini.
  • Bake the bread until golden brown: Bake the crostini in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Top the crostini with your favorite toppings: Once the crostini are baked, top them with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include cheese, tomatoes, olives, and herbs.
