Ingredients
- 1 baguette fresh or day-old, or other long, thin, crusty bread
- 1/2 cup olive oil (more or less, depending on how long the baguette is)
- sea salt or kosher or fine-flaked
- black pepper freshly-ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Slice baguette into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick slices. You can either slice them as rounds or on the diagonal.
- Arrange bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil. Lightly season one side with salt and pepper.
- Bake 6-8 minutes, flipping once, until bread is crisp and lightly-toasted.* Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite crostini toppings.

Notes
- *Baking time will vary based on the type of bread you've used, how thick you've sliced it, its moisture content, and density. In general, most will take between 6 and 8 minutes. Keep a close eye on the crostini as they bake so they don't burn.
- See the FAQ's above for seasoning variations.
