Ingredients
1 loaf good quality French bread, cut into 1" cubes
1-2 T finely minced roasted garlic
Kosher salt TT
Coarsely ground black pepper TT
¼ c extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
Heat oven to 350. Place bread in large mixing bowl. Whisk garlic, salt, pepper, and oil together in a small bowl. Drizzle over bread, tossing a couple of times to ensure even coverage. Spread onto a baking sheet. Bake, tossing once, until golden brown (15-20 mins). Watch carefully after 15 minutes to prevent over-browning. Terrific with the salad but also great served with cheese, tossed on top of soups or used in stuffing, dressing and a savory bread pudding.
