Notes
- Bread: You can use any kind of bread you prefer, french, sourdough, sandwich bread, and even ciabatta or foccaccia. I have only tested this recipe with white bread, but you can probably use white or multigrain if you want.
- Herbs: I prefer the flavor of fresh herbs, but you can also use dried. Change amounts to 1/2 teaspoon.
- To make ahead: 1) Prepare as directed without baking. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 48 hours. Add 10-15 minutes of covered bake time. OR 2) Bake as directed, then cool completely. Cover and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Bake covered at 350°F until warmed through, about 30 minutes. To crisp up the edges, take the foil off for the last 5-10 minutes.
