   • Begin by slicing the loaf of bread into 5 pieces, each about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick, ensuring to leave the crust on except at the ends.

2. Cut into Fingers:

   • Take each slice of bread and cut it into 3 wide fingers. This will create bite-sized portions that are perfect for snacking or serving alongside your favorite Italian dishes.

3. Toast Under Broiler:

   • Preheat your broiler and toast the bread fingers, turning them occasionally until they are light brown on all sides. This will give them a delicious crunch and enhance their flavor.

4. Prepare Herb Oil:

   • While the bread is toasting, mix together the olive oil, salt, and Accent seasoning in a small bowl to create the herb oil mixture. This flavorful blend will infuse the toast fingers with delicious herbaceous notes.

5. Brush Herb Oil:

   • Once the toast fingers are lightly browned, remove them from the broiler and brush the herb oil mixture onto all sides of each finger. Make sure to coat them evenly for maximum flavor.

6. Oven Toasting:

   • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the herb-coated toast fingers on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for an additional 20 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the fingers to crisp up to perfection.

7. Serve Hot:

   • Once the toast fingers are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and serve them hot. They pair perfectly with your favorite Italian dishes or make a delicious appetizer for any occasion.
