Notes
You can use any size baguette (or other long, thin bread) for this recipe, although servings will vary. I used an 8-ounce (½-pound / 255 grams) baguette, which yielded 40 ¼-inch thick slices.
For Garlic Crostini, cut a large garlic clove in half, then rub the cut side over the toasts when they come out of the oven.
