Slice the white bread loaf into thick slices, approximately 1 inch thick, then cut each slice into smaller pieces if desired.

Step 3

Place the baking tray with the buttered bread slices into the preheated oven.

Step 7

Bake the bread slices for about 20 minutes, then flip them over to bake the other side.

Step 8

Continue baking for another 20 minutes or until the bread slices are golden brown and crisp.
