“Crostini” method “little crusts” (ie. “little toasts”) in Italian and that’s precisely what they’re: skinny slices of bread, brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with salt then baked till crisp.

The exceptional bread to apply for crostini is one that’s got a bit of structure and heft to it, consisting of:

Ciabatta

Pane di casa / pain de campagne

Stone-baked loaf

Sourdough.

In case you use the gentle white baguettes, the crostini will soak via without delay as soon as sauced and just come to be soggy. You need it to stay crispy even once sauced so that you can pile it up with the fish and greens – it’s the pleasant eating revel in!

Bread length – i exploit the thin baguettes, then I slice them in a different way depending on what I’m using the crostini for.

Long crostini – slice on an excessive attitude for lengthy ones. I typically use lengthy crostini when I’m the use of crostini as a dunker or serving on the aspect of a meal.

Quick / small crostini – reduce on less of an perspective to make smaller pieces whilst you need to apply the crostini for chunk size canapés.

Notes

1. Bread type – Best to use a bread that’s got a bit of structure and heft to it: ciabatta, pane di casa / pain de campagne, stone-baked loaf or a sourdough. If you use the soft white baguettes, the crostini will soak through immediately once sauced and just become soggy. You want it to stay crispy even once sauced so you can pile it up with the fish and vegetables – it’s the best eating experience! Crostini size – depends on the use. Cut them small if you want bite size canapés (see here for toppings), or on an extreme diagonal if you want long pieces (for example, if using to scoop things up when serving with a main dish like Acqua Pazza Italian Poached Fish). 2. Storage – Baked, cooled crostini can be stored in an airtight container for 5 days, sometimes even longer. 3. Nutrition per serving, assuming 2 slices of crostini. Shave off 62 cal per serving by reducing cooking olive oil from 2 tbsp down to 1 tbsp.
