Step 1

Preheat oven to a high broil. Slice loaf between ½ – 1 inch thick depending on your preference.

Step 2

Place slices, in a single layer, on a baking sheet. Drizzle each piece with olive oil (you don’t need to drizzle both sides of bread).

Step 3

Place bread in oven for 2-5 minutes until light golden. Flip slices to the other side. Broil again for 2-5 minutes until light golden (or darker if you prefer a crispier crostini).

Step 4

Remove from oven, and when the crostini is cool enough to touch, rub the top of each piece with the garlic clove. Sprinkle with salt. Best served right away, with your favorite toppings or even alone!
