Trev's Speciality-Brad's Favorite

This recipe is very special in our family, and quite hard to master, so if you try it read the directions carefully:)

4 pieces of bread
Butter bread and sprinkle with garlic salt
Put bread on pan and put in oven
Turn on oven to broil
Leave in oven over 20 min. And wait to remove until your kitchen is filled with smoke and fire alarms are going off. Tops of bread will be done when they are so very very black, and they smell funny. ENJOY!!
