Ingredients
Ingredients
- Bread of your choice (sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and adjust one oven rack to the lower middle position to ensure even toasting.
- Place bread on the rack: Once preheated, arrange your bread slices in a single layer directly on the lowered oven rack. This direct placement helps achieve a crisp texture.
- Toast first side: Allow the bread to cook for 4 minutes without disturbance to toast one side thoroughly and develop a golden color.
- Flip and toast other side: Using tongs or a spatula, flip each slice carefully. Toast for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until the other side is equally golden and crisped to your liking.
- Remove and serve: Carefully remove the toasted slices from the oven once they reach the desired level of browning. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use day-old bread or slightly drier slices.
- Avoid overcrowding the rack to ensure even toasting on all slices.
- If you prefer a softer center, reduce the toasting time slightly.
- Always handle hot bread and oven racks with care to avoid burns.
