Ingredients:
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press ( about 1 tablespoon)
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 cups 1/2 inch white bread cubes ( from a baguette or white country loaf)
Directions:
Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the garlic, salt, and oil in a small bowl; let stand 20 minutes, then pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl.
Discard the garlic.
Add the bread cubes to the bowl with the garlic oil and toss to coat.
Spread the bread cubes in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes.
Cool on the baking sheet to room temperature.
