Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 250°C with top and bottom heat. Wash the tomatoes. Rinse the basil, shake dry and pluck the leaves (set aside 8 leaves). Peel the garlic (reserve 1 clove) and combine with basil in a food processor to finely chop.

Slice the ciabatta into 1 cm thick slices, rub each slice with the remaining garlic clove, drizzle with a little olive oil, and roast in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes.
