Method 4 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.
