What to look for

Follow the temperature in your recipe, and if it gives none, use the lowest setting your oven has. Spread the tobacco thinly on a tray and stir it every so often until it's brittle enough to grind. Toasting is quick, so watch it closely, because tobacco goes from toasted to burnt fast. A food dehydrator also works for drying.
