Notes
Although I recommend baguette, any firm bread will do - just avoid pre-cut, supersoft loaves. You want something with a little bite. Also, remember to increase topping quantities if you use larger slices of breadMy top tip is to ensure you pick quality flavourful fruit and to serve these toasts as soon as they have been made to ensure they retain their crispness
