- 2). Cut the loaf of bread into 10 even slices. Spread the slices out on a piece of wax or parchment paper to protect your counter top. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- 3). Coat both sides of each bread slice with olive oil or melted butter using a pastry brush.
- 4). Sprinkle both sides of each bread slice with seasonings such as salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes or dried oregano or basil to taste.
