Step-by-step guide to making this recipe
1
Pour the olive oil into a shallow bowl over the garlic and let it soak. Soaking it longer will yield more garlic flavor.
2
Preheat the oven to 350 °F (~180 °C).
3
Strain the olive oil into a frying pan and fry the bread cubes in it, tossing to coat with oil.
4
Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 10 minutes or until crispy and dry.

Notes
- •To make non-garlic croutons, simply omit the garlic.
- •One may omit the prep work of mincing the garlic by adding the whole cloves of garlic to the oil and then crushing the garlic (either with a mortar or a fork).
- •By using very small bread cubes, frying crisp, and omitting the baking, these croutons may be used in place of potatoes.
