Notes
Pro Tips
- Use day old bread. It seems to toast crisper.
- Any bread will basically work for this recipe. I've used hot dog buns, hoggie rolls, French bread, Italian bread, sourdough bread, or whatever I have on hand.
- Watch the oven closely. Every oven bakes differently.
- Season well with your favorite seasonings.
