- Place bread slices on cookie sheets & lightly brush w/ salad dressing one top side
- Bake for 15 minutes
- Flip, brush other side with salad dressing & bake for 10 more minutes
- Check for doneness by pressing the middle of each slice, if it's still a little soft, it's done.
- If they're not done, no worries, just toss them back in the oven for a few more minutes. Be sure to check them every couple of minutes, you don't want them to burn.
- Remove finished crostini & place on cooling rack.
- Store crostini as soon as cooled in a sealed plastic bag to retain moisture if you want them to be less crunchy and chewier.
Mix bruschetta & serve with cooled crostini.
