Toast the Bread
Bake the baguette slices in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Cook the Pancetta
While the bread is toasting, in a skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta slices until they are crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
