Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf sourdough bread (try my homemade recipe or use similar-textured bread) (170g)
- 2 tbsp butter, softened (28g)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Slice sourdough to desired thickness and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
- Cook for 4 minutes, turn slices over and cook for another 4 minutes.
- Remove from oven, and turn the broiler on.
- While the broiler is heating, butter one side of each bread slice. After brushing all slices with butter, broil for 1-2 minutes, or until edges just begin to darken.
Notes
Simple variations to this recipe can be made such as:
- Adding crushed garlic or garlic powder to the butter
- Replacing the butter with Parmesan or another type of cheese.
For :
- Lighter, crispier crostini- slice them thin (¼-½″).
- Thicker crostini- like those used in French Onion Soup, or for Bruschetta, you’ll want them closer to 1″ thick.
