Making Toast Points

One loaf, good quality, thin sliced white bread. Trim the crusts and slice in half on the diagonal, twice, to form four (4) triangles. Place the bread in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Bake the bread in a preheated 425 degree oven for 4-5 minutes, checking to make sure it doesn't become too dark. Turn and bake on the other side, 2-3 minutes. Cool the "points" on a baking rack.
