Ingredients
Ingredients
- Bread of your choice, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and position one rack in the lower middle part of the oven to ensure even heat distribution.
- Arrange Bread Slices: Once preheated, place your bread slices directly on the lower oven rack in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping for uniform toasting.
- Toast First Side: Let the bread cook for 4 minutes on one side, allowing it to begin browning and crisping up nicely.
- Flip Bread: Carefully flip each slice and continue baking for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until both sides are golden brown and toasted to your liking.
- Remove and Serve: Take the toasted bread out of the oven carefully and serve immediately with your choice of toppings or spreads.
Notes
- Keep a close watch the first time you try this method to avoid over-toasting since oven temperatures can vary.
- You can use any type of bread, including white, whole wheat, sourdough, or gluten-free.
- For extra flavor, lightly brush the bread with olive oil or butter before toasting.
- To make garlic toast, sprinkle minced garlic and herbs on the bread before placing it in the oven.
