Notes

For crispier bread, place it directly on the oven rack during the last few minutes of baking. Leftover bread can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. For a different flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat or substitute garlic with roasted garlic for a milder flavor.
