   Place the bread slices over a charcoal fire or under a heated broiler until theyre dark golden brown on both sides.

3. 3
   Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise and, using half a tomato for each slice of toast, rub the tomato into the toast (on one side only).
4. 4
   As you rub, let the tomato collapse into a thin red layer of flesh and seeds and juice, completely covering the surface of each slice.

   Discard any remaining tomato pulp, or reserve for another use.
6. 6
   Drizzle each slice with a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with a few grains of salt, and serve.
