Creating bruschetta is an enjoyable process that can be broken down into simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for toasting the bread.
2. Prepare the Bread: Slice the baguette or ciabatta into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.
3. Toast the Bread: Brush each slice with olive oil and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
4. Make the Topping: In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped basil, and remaining olive oil. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Assemble the Bruschetta: Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Spoon the tomato mixture onto each slice of bread.
6. Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: If desired, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze on top for an extra burst of flavor.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your bruschetta while the bread is still warm and crunchy.
