Ingredients

4 slices day-old French bread, cubed
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste

Steps

Pour the olive oil into a shallow bowl over the garlic and let it soak. Soaking it longer will yield more garlic flavor.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F (~180 °C).
Strain the olive oil into a frying pan and fry the bread cubes in it, tossing to coat with oil.
Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 10 minutes or until crispy and dry.
